Men Diamler

An all-too-rare London appearance for the wonderful Mr Diamler. "Men Diamler is one man and one man only. But sometimes it is not him". (or so he says on his MySpace page). One of our favourites, and simply undescribable, so no description yet... for now. On the flyer, you may read he is "anti-fork". He is not, really. I am told he is rather fond of forks. And spoons.

James Weeks: Schilderkonst

Schilderkonst
(‘Art of Painting’: trilogy for ensemble)

with other works by James Weeks
First Steps
Selbstbildnis als Laute
Liebeslied als Geige
Siciliano

Kürbis Ensemble
James Weeks director

‘Schilderkonst needs to be heard.’ Christopher Fox

Schilderkonst is a 50-minute trilogy of instrumental works by the British composer James Weeks, based on the ‘realist’ art of the Dutch Golden Age and the music of Johannes Ockeghem. Saenredam, the first piece in the trilogy, is scored for winds, organ and vibraphone with concertante oboe d’amore and guitar; Low Country (based on the genre painting of de Hooch) is for string quartet; Duinland (based on the landscapes of van Goyen) is for solo piano.

James Weeks is widely regarded as one of the UK’s foremost emerging talents in new music, active as composer, conductor (notably with his vocal ensemble EXAUDI) and keyboard player. Schilderkonst, his major work to date, is premièred on this occasion alongside instrumental solos and two Rilke settings for voices.

Kürbis Ensemble gave its first concert in 2006 and champions the work of emerging radical and experimentalist composers. It is led for this concert by Darragh Morgan (violin) and features soloists Christopher Redgate (oboe d’amore) and Alan Thomas (guitar) in Saenredam, and Sophie Appleton (violin) in First Steps.
