New thread for upcoming interesting 2018 Romantic unsung concerts

[MartinH]

And locally, the Phoenix Symphony is doing one thing that really surprised me: the first symphony of Florence Price, in April, 2019.

Neat, another performance of Dohnanyi's early string sextet!
Another work by Arensky- his piano quintet- will be performed, along with (I assume the later version of, though they have "H 49" which means the earlier??) Frank Bridge's piano quintet, on March 9th in London @ Regent Hall.
Arensky's string quartet no.2 is being performed also @ the Tonhalle Maag in Zürich on March 12th (with Enesco's lovely and ebullient (not to mention just a bit wonderfully zany) string octet, and Sandor Veress' string trio) - and the Arensky again on March 17th @ the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center, Great Barrington Massachusetts (US) with the -first- quartet of Tchaikovsky and the -third- of Shostakovich (in numerical order, it seems- Tchaik 1, Arens 2, Shost 3. I've only heard the Shostakovich live of those three, I believe- not positive.)  (Then his -quintet- gets another airing @ the Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players' March 19 concert with Grechaninov's first clarinet sonata and other works (Shostakovich first trio, Glière 3rd sextet) but I believe I've mentioned that. Great series, theirs.) Anyhow, good year for Arensky fans.

(I was thinking it must be some sort of anniversary. Maybe. Yesterday -was- the 100th anniversary of Emil Sjögren's death...)

Tonhalle Maag?  Seriously?

[eschiss1]

No, I was joking. Made the whole thing up just to see if anyone was reading.

Their website. (German)

Twice tonight in NYC a concert with Reynaldo Hahn's (1921) piano quintet in F-sharp minor (also Hummel's 1802 quintet in E-flat minor).

[semloh]

Hahn's (1921) piano quintet in F-sharp minor (also Hummel's 1802 quintet in E-flat minor)

What a wonderful concert programme, Eric....

I almost went- was too tired after a long day and downstate bus ride though.

On the 18 May 2019 Herbert Blomstedt will conduct Stenhammar Second Symphony with the Berliner Philharmoniker in Berlin.
(BTW about reply 18 the Tonhalle Maag exists in Zurich; it is a smallish hall, other than the famous Tonhalle Zurich).

[nklamun]

I just saw that Atterberg's symphony #4 ("Sinfonia piccola") is being given what appears to be its U.S. premier in West St. Paul, Minnesota by the East Metro Symphony Orchestra this Sunday, May 20th, with a second performance in Minneapolis on Wednesday, May 23rd.

Also on the program is Alfvén's Swedish Rhapsody #1 ("Midsommarvaka"), as well as some music by contemporary composers.

(The East Metro Symphony Orchestra is a community orchestra based in the Twin Cities area.)

Our local symphony Orchestra (Argovia Philharmonic) has in 2018/2019 several concerts with British Music. The reason is that Douglas Bostock will leave the orchestra after 18 years.
Some really unsung compositions: Pagan Symphony (Bantock), Organ Sonata (Elgar, instr. Jacob), Symphonic Variations (Parry) and in Switzerland also seldom heard The Sea  (Bridge), In a Summer Garden (Delius), Somerset Rhapsody (Holst), The Perfect Fool (Ballet Music, Holst)

Most of those pieces aren't heard all that often here in the UK either!

[Gareth Vaughan]

Hardly ever, in fact. What a splendid season.
