ANTICIPATING ART IN THE NEW YEAR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Norman Warwick<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The e mail from Jazz In reading  was really positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi Norman<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n


From the whole Jazz in Reading team: wishing you and your readers all the very best for 2023.\u00a0
We look forward to seeing you at some of the Jazz at Progress shows we have lined up for the first half of the year – more <\/em>here <\/em><\/strong><\/a>

We also have news of a new jam in Reading\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


You may well remember the jazz jams at Reading\u2019s Global Cafe. All a vanishing memory now that the cafe is closed and, it seems, there is no immediate prospect of it re-opening.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

 
photo 1<\/strong> However \u2026 2023 will see a new jam starting at another Reading venue: the Fisherman\u2019s Cottage on Kennet Side RG1 3DW. An easy stroll along the Kennet from the Queen\u2019s Road car park \u2013 park for just \u00a33.60 for the evening<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


The events will run every second Tuesday starting on 17 January at 7:30pm.Live music. Free entry. Excellent food and drink. And a lot more space than the Global.  Who could ask for more?

As well as jazz<\/strong>, we anticipate a healthy dose of blues<\/strong>, a bit of funk<\/strong> and even some occasional freeform<\/strong> to which no name has yet been assigned.

If you would like to receive regular information about the jam just reply YES<\/strong> to this email.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Musicians:<\/strong> if you\u2019d like to take part, call one of the following and we\u2019ll do our best to accommodate you: Ian Germer 07866 251216 \/ Jim Wade  07788 666608<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em>FROM FRAN AT THE STOLLER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was similarly positive news from \u00a8Fran At The Stoller\u00b4. We don\u00b4t know Fran personally but we have received so much uplifting news from her recently that it feels like we are old friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her most recent missive Fran St The Stoller was obviously delighted to announce the programme for their January to June 2023 classical music concert programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If any our readers are in the North West of England on Monday 16th<\/sup> January at 7.30 pm<\/strong> they should try to catch THE SACCONI QUARTET + MATTHEW WADSWORTH<\/strong> presented by Manchester Chamber Music Concerts Society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The chemistry between these four young players is tangible and magical\u2019 <\/em><\/strong>\u2014 The Scotsman <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Championing new music and experimenting with the quartet repertoire has become part of the Sacconi Quartet<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s trademark style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With their fresh and imaginative approach to chamber music, the Sacconi Quartet will perform alongside lutenist Matthew Wadsworth<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their programme will feature an incredibly wide range of composers including 17th\u2013 century Purcell, the celestial soundscapes of Jamaican-born British composer Alberga\u2019s Quartet No.2 and Beethoven\u2019s Quartet No.16. In between, audiences can enjoy Welsh composer Stephen Goss\u2019 ground-breaking new 21st Century concerto for theorbo and strings, for a performance not to be missed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On Friday 3rd<\/sup> of February<\/strong> you can hear the music of RIOPY, <\/strong>a pianist and composer who wants to change the world, one note at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in rural France, his mother left home with him when he was six months old, eventually joining a cult, where family ties were discouraged \u2013 and obedience to the head guru was paramount. Deprived of any outside culture, young Jean-Philippe taught himself to play on an abandoned piano when he was two, making up songs in his head, then performing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RIOPY was drawn to the piano as it allowed him to focus on creating music from scratch, quiet his mind from his OCD anxieties and to retreat into his own private world. \u201cI understood tones, sounds and numbers, because I\u2019d always been counting,\u201d he says. \u201cPlaying piano was the only place I felt safe. I discovered something new every time I sat down at the piano. It was the only thing I enjoyed doing. And even if I wasn\u2019t at the piano, I\u2019d play music in my head to cope with stress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After ten years of travels and many fateful encounters, such as Chris Martin giving him a piano, RIOPY began to compose for cinema and adverts \u2013 but he still faced the struggle of chronic depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This vulnerability emerged in the music of his first two albums RIOPY<\/a> and Tree of Light<\/a> which became successes worldwide, powered by personal recommendation and word of mouth. His music has reached 450 million streams worldwide, and now he\u2019s excited by the release of his new album (Extended) Bliss<\/a> on Warner Classics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The following evening, 4th<\/sup> February<\/strong>, audiences will be treated to a presentation of Music In The Round from ENSEMBLE 360.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Praised by The Guardian as \u2018one of the most adaptable chamber groups in the country\u2019, Ensemble 360<\/strong><\/a> is renowned for its bold programming and engaging interpretations of music ranging from baroque duos, through classical quartets to new commissions for all eleven players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following on from the 150th birthday celebrations in 2022 of composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, the evening opens with his most famous work The Lark Ascending. Recently voted No.1 in the Classic FM Hall of Fame for a record 12th time, the ensemble presents this well-loved piece in its original version for piano and violin. This is followed by his Concerto for Oboe and Strings, and the compact Sonatine by the composer\u2019s friend and mentor Maurice Ravel. The evening concludes with Robert Schumann\u2019s expansive Piano Quintet, composed in his \u2018year of chamber music\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On Monday 6th<\/sup> February at 7.30pm<\/strong>\u00a0 THE MAGNARD ENSEMBLE<\/strong> will be performing in the Carol Nash Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This contemporary classical music project was born out of these questions, particularly from a British East Asian point of view, in response to the sharp increase in hate crime against people of East and South East Asian heritage at the start of the covid pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What changes did Lockdown 2020 bring to your life? Do you think and feel like a different person from your pre-pandemic self? How important are our identities and what shapes them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This relaxed performance will be the world premiere of a brand new work for wind quintet by the London based American composer Tonia Ko, commissioned by Magnard Ensemble with support from PRS Foundation\u2019s Women Make Music Award and Haworth Trust. The event will also feature a Japanese traditional instrument, Shamisen, performed by Dr Yui Shikakura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonia is a recipient of some of the highest honours for young composers including a 2018 Guggenheim Fellowship, and has been frequently featured on BBC Radio 3 for her work with the Riot Ensemble \/ Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Northern Chords Festival, and Tangram Collective. Magnard Ensemble has established a reputation for world class concert performances and innovative education projects over the past decade. As an alumnus of prestigious schemes including Making Music UK and a residency at Snape Maltings, their highlights include a recital at Wigmore Hall and an animated video adaptation of Rob Biddulph\u2019s \u2018Odd Dog Out\u2019, available on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
