Event overview
Evening Concert 'Wanhal 200'
As part of the Department of Music's annual PureGold festival, the Amade Players, directed by Nick Newland, present 'Wanhal 200', with music for voices and period instruments.
We commemorate the two hundredth anniversary of composer Johann Baptist Wanhal, a worthy contemporary of Mozart and Haydn, and an unsung hero of the Classical period.
This concert take place under the ausipices of His Excellency Mr Michael Zantovsky, Ambassador of the Czech Republic in the UK and in association with the Johann Baptist Wanhal Association.
Flute Concerto in A major modern premiere
Clarinet Sonata in Bb major
Violin Concerto in Bb major
The concert features the modern world premiere of the charming flute concerto performed by German virtuoso Flavia Hirte. This work has not been heard since the Eighteenth century and is being performed using new editions prepared by Nick Newland, the concert’s director. We are delighted to be welcoming Jane Booth, Head of Historical Performance at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and Professor John Irving to play one of Wanhal’s clarinet sonatas, a work that truly depends on the symbiotic relationship of clarinet and fortepiano.
The final work in our programme is the Bb major violin concerto that so inspired Mozart during his stay in Augsburg in 1777. Exciting Norwegian violinist Christiane Eidsten Dahl shows us just why this piece was to be so influential.
