2025 Unsung Concerts

[eschiss1]

Maybe a little early, but the 2024-5 seasons have been posted, and there's -some- interesting stuff, it seems.

A concert with Andrée's concert overture (and works by Carl Nielsen and others) is  planned for Minneapolis on 10 and 11 January (repeat) 2025, for example.
And one of Robert Fuchs' string trios (E minor, Op.61 No.1) forms part of a program in Vienna on March 23rd.
Dora Pejačević's music features in concerts this year and next. January 29 & 30 2025, in Stockholm, her symphony is being played by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic.

Detroit Symphony Orchestra, last concert I think, June 5 2025: world premiere by Michael Abels, Tchaikovsky first piano concerto, followed by Leokadiya Kashperova's symphony in B minor, Op.4. (Conducted by Jader Bignamini.) (Also, I see on Facebook that the first studio recording of this work's sessions have just wrapped up in Germany...)

... awhile, but *bump*
This early January 2025 program looks interesting; not entirely within our remit (the last work, Stan Golestan's Arioso, is from 1932) or entirely unsung (Brahms' scherzo from the FAE sonata) but otherwise there are works by Clara Schumann, Joseph Joachim, Hans Sitt, and George Enescu (concert piece for viola and piano) - played at Wigmore Hall, London on 13 January.

On 25 January 2025 a song recital with works by August Bungert, George Enescu and Felix Draeseke will take place in the house of the Kunstverein in Coburg. The concert is part of an exhibition of paintings by Dora Hitz, who was the favourite painter of queen Elizabeth of Romania (alias Carmen Sylva). It is focussed on songs after lyrics by Carmen Sylva.

A concert in Freiburg Germany on Sunday January 19 features orchestral works by Szymanowski and Zemlinsky respectively: the Sym Concertante with Piano (Sym 4) and the Sinfonietta. The concert also has the "Polish" Sym of Tchaikovsky.

The Bregenzer Festspiele on the shores of Lake Constance, although mainly about opera of course, always feature orchestral concerts as well. In 2025 some unsungs will be played:

On 21 July, The Vienna Symphony conducted by Elim Chan will play 'Trois femmes de légende' by Mel Bonis plus works by Debussy and Ravel.

On 17 August, the Vorarlberg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Leo McFall will play 'Fantasie über Motive aus "Hänsel und Gretel" by Oskar Fried, selected lieder by Alma Mahler and Gustav Mahler's 4th Symphony.

For a few (not perhaps many) composers there are worse ways to add to this information, btw, than to check on the website of at least one publisher/distributor of the composer, which sites are sometimes good enough to list past and upcoming performances of such works by the composer as that company/group (e.g. Wise Music Classical, or others) has charge of.

An  upcoming performance of Myaskovsky's cello concerto in C minor have been announced for New York City, for  17 May. Sam Magill, cello; David Leibowitz will conduct the New York Repertory Orchestra. (Wise Music Classical gives a 2nd performance on 15 February but their calendar disagrees. Nor will the coupling any longer be Messiaen

 The location is incomprehensible at the former website, but is " Church of St. Mary the Virgin, 145 West 46th Street - between 6th & 7th Avenues" according to the orchestra's site..

As Piers Lane was mentioned in passing in another thread, I see he's pianist in a concert with cello sonatas by Frank Bridge (D minor), Francis Poulenc, Edmund [Charles Duncan-]Rubbra, and Fauré (1st, D minor), on 16 February 2025 at King's Place, London; Raphael Wallfisch, cello (who has recorded at least several of these works).

Also, the Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players concerts for this half of their season, in NYC, are fairly interesting, with works like Max Brauer's sextet, Zarebski's quintet, a string trio by Lipinski, Widor's first quintet, Lalo's string quartet (revised), and other works among the programs.
