An evening of thoughtful and uplifting new music, spanning a variety of styles and traditions, performed by Héloı̈se Werner (soprano), Kit Downes (organ) and Colin Alexander (cello) who will be spaced at the extremes of the concert hall, surrounding the audience. Each performer will offer around twenty minutes of their own solo works, written since March 2020, and the programme will also feature five short text pieces written especially for the occasion by Errollyn Wallen, Shiva Feshareki, Jasmin Kent Rodgman, Jonathan Cole and Love Ssega.

In this atmospheric setting and glowing acoustic, the concert will bring together some of the most exciting creative voices on the scene. With spatially-distanced trio commissions, dazzling solo soprano works, bright and colourful organ music and peaceful cello compositions, this is a celebration of the importance of music and the arts today.

This concert will be recorded by BBC Radio 3 for future broadcast.

The Other Side Of The Sea

posted in: Past Events | 0

Aldeburgh Parish Church, 7pm

The Other Side Of The Sea is a new one-woman opera about language, memory and identity. Inspired by Héloïse’s experience of adopting English as a second language, it uses the central metaphor of the sea to explore the tension of an identity split linguistically, in this case between French and English. This unconventional piece layers poetry, music, and moving images to articulate the way the mind retains fragments of text, image, and sound at different levels of consciousness.
The project is generously supported by the Michael Cuddigan Trust and was developed during a Snape Maltings residency under the mentorship of cellist and composer Zoë Martlew.

Héloïse Werner, performer / composer
Octavia Bright, writer
Emily Burns, director
Jessie Rodger, filmmaker

The first half of the concert will also feature my contemporary quartet The Hermes Experiment performing music by Dominic Wills, Kate Whitley, Prokofiev, Rachmaninov and Maxwell Davies.

Aldeburgh Residency – The Hermes Experiment

posted in: Past Events | 0

5-11 September, Aldeburgh Music

In light of Shakespeare’s 400th anniversary, The Hermes Experiment (harp, clarinet, soprano and double bass) will develop their new interpretation of Shakepeare’s The Winter’s Tale during their residency at Aldeburgh Music in September 2016, to be premiered at the Cockpit Theatre in December 2016.

They will work in close collaboration with director Nina Brazier and composer Kim Ashton, with the aim of highlighting key themes of the play through a condensed version of Shakespeare’s work. Each of the themes will become a ‘movement’ and will involve a different approach to the relationship between text and music.

They will be exploring a new mode of theatre that uses music and musicians as a vital part of the drama. Kim Ashton will lead the development of the music, which will include both improvised and semi-improvised elements and will be a central part of the work, not merely an accompaniment to the play. A group of actors will also be involved in the project, bringing life to Shakespeare’s colourful cast of characters.

Temple Church Choir

The Temple Church, 7.30pm

Roger Sayer, director

Temple Church Choir and Temple Brass present an eclectic mix of music by Nordic composers, combined with works from the British Isles, France, Germany and the USA. Einojuhani Rautavaara is perhaps the most prolific Finnish composer after Sibelius and his combination of melodic line and austere harmony give his music a great, mystical quality.  Music by celebrated choral composers Arvo Pärt and John Tavener also feature in this evening of great variety and choral beauty.

This concert will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3.

Scenes from the End (Part I)

Zero Wave, The Harrison, King’s Cross, 8.30pm

Scenes from the End: A tour-de-force showcase for soprano Héloïse Werner. Using a colourful array of vocal and theatrical means, composer Jonathan Woolgar and director Roxana Haines paint historic, comic and tragic pictures of “the end”, from the heat-death of the universe to the end of an individual life. This is virtuoso music theatre on a scale that is both cosmic and intimate.
