WelcomeThe University of Leeds International Concert Series plays an important role in the cultural life on the University campus and in the broader city region. It provides live music performances for students, staff and the general public. The Series is directly related to the teaching and research outputs of the School of Music and other areas of the University, and offers a wide range of musical genres and styles. The Series is committed to high quality and continues to employ high-calibre professional musicians presenting interesting and varied programmes. It provides a platform for student performance and supports the Leeds University Union Music Society. Collaborations with other music, performance and arts organisations from the city and region strengthen links with the wider community, and contribute to variety within the Series.

Highlights of the first half of the 2017-18 Series include our continuing collaboration with Leeds Lieder - this year exploring the songs of Schubert alongside those of his contemporaries, featuring performances by award-winning singers Nika Goric, James Newby and Mary Bevan accompanied by Joseph Middleton. The School of Music Choir and Orchestra also perform music by Schubert to mark the 20th anniversary of the University’s Schubert Institute Research Committee. On 11th November, Pixels Ensemble presents a programme on the theme of Remembrance featuring Messiaen's iconic Quartet for the End of Time. Free Friday lunchtime concerts include pianist Jill Crossland performing music by Bach and Mozart, early 20th century Russian music for brass quintet performed by Prince Regent's Band, a programme of Schumann and Mendelssohn by violist Timothy Ridout, and improvisation by Canadian jazz clarinettist Phil Nimmons and Steinway Artist pianist David Braid.

Details of concerts can also be found at concerts.leeds.ac.uk

I hope you find much to enjoy in this year’s Series and I look forward to seeing you at concerts soon.

Musicians of Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon and Leitrim Remembered.Friday 13 October, 1:05pm Paul Daly (wooden flute) Des Hurley (fiddle) Chris O’Malley (piano)

Today, Irish music is a well-known genre. In the 1920s the emerging recording industry in America recognised there was a market for music representing migrants arriving in the country. This concert focuses on a number of musicians from the counties of Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon and Leitrim in the west of Ireland who made recordings at this time which were hugely popular both in America and back in Ireland. Their significance and individual regional and stylistic influence complimenting a re-emergence of Irish traditional music remains hugely respected and acknowledged within the local communities across the west of Ireland.

The concert features a discussion with the Manchester based flute player Paul Daly, originally from Ballaghaderreen in County Roscommon and a slideshow of memorials to musicians in this area.

He is joined by Nika Goric whose recent performances have taken her to the Salzburg Young Singers Programme, Verbier Festival, Wigmore Hall and Vienna Musikverein.

Jill CrosslandFriday 20 October, 1:05pmDomenico Scarlatti - Sonata in G, L349/K116Johann Sebastian Bach - Selection from the Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Piano Sonata in C, K330

Jill plays all over the country and abroad, including numerous appearances at London's South Bank and Wigmore Hall, Bridgewater Hall, Sage Gateshead and the Vienna Musikverein. Her recordings on Warner Classics, Signum Classics and other labels have been critically acclaimed and she is widely regarded as a leading interpreter of baroque and classical repertoire, featuring in Classic FM's Hall of Fame. Her complete recording of J S Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier has been described as 'a remarkable achievement, ranking with the finest' by the Penguin Guide. Jill will play some of these Preludes and Fugues, arguably the greatest keyboard pedagogical work ever written, in this recital.

Jill's programme also includes a sonata by Domenico Scarlatti (L349/K146 in G), one of many written while the composer was in the service of the Iberian royal families, and Mozart's sunny Piano Sonata in C, K330 written during the composer's first years in Vienna.

Russian RevolutionariesFriday 27 October, 1:05pm Prince Regent's Band: Fraser Tannock & Richard Thomas (cornets and trumpets) Anneke Scott (althorn and French horn) Phil Dale (baritone and trombone) Jeff Miller (tuba)

Victor Ewald - Brass Quintet no 1, op 5 Oskar Böhme - Prelude and Fugues no 1, op 28Alexander Glazunov - Brass Quintet, op 38 “In Modo Religioso”Victor Ewald - Brass Quintet no 2, op 6

Brass playing and the Russian aristocracy were intimately linked. Tsar Alexander III was an 'impassioned and highly talented cornet à pistons, baritone and tuba player' who did much to promote Russian music and in particular, his beloved brass music. He established regular brass soirées bringing together other likeminded members of the nobility. This programme includes music that would have been familiar to participants at these soirees. Ewald’s Quintets are a mainstay of the modern brass quintet repertoire, performed in this recital on instruments of the era. Böhme’s life reflects the turmoil of this period - a German virtuoso, fêted in early 20th century St Petersburg, only to be exiled by Stalin. Finally, the most well-known of the composers in this programme, and giant of the early 20th century Russian scene, Alexander Glazunov.


Friends & Rivals: Johann Sebastian Bach & Georg Philipp Telemann Sunday 29 October, 3:00pm Leeds Baroque Choir and Orchestra directed by Peter Holman

Georg Philipp Telemann - Ouverture in D major, TWV55:D16Johann Sebastian Bach - Gottes Zeit ist der allerbeste Zeit (Actus Tragicus), BWV106Johann Sebastian Bach - Concerto in G minor, BWV1056RGeorg Philipp Telemann - Ach wie nichtig, ach, wie flüctig (Trauer-Actus), TWV1:38Georg Philipp Telemann - Concerto in E minor, TWV52:e1Johann Sebastian Bach - Christ lag in Todesbanden, BWV4

A fascinating programme marking two anniversaries: Martin Luther's initiation of the Reformation in 1517 and J.S. Bach’s friend and rival Georg Philipp Telemann's death in 1767.

Tickets: £18£16 (advance saver - available until 14 October)Free - students and under 16s

New York City-based loadbang is building a new kind of music for mixed ensemble of trumpet, trombone, bass clarinet, and baritone voice. They have been praised as cultivated by The New Yorker, inventive by the New York Times and called a formidable new-music force by TimeOutNY. In the USA, they have been recently presented by and performed at Miller Theater, Da Camera of Houston, and Rothko Chapel and internationally at the China-ASEAN Music Week and Shanghai Symphony Hall.




Trio Atem perform music commissioned as part of their tenth birthday celebrations. Join them for a programme of experimental works as they undergo digital filtering, explore alternate personalities, enter labyrinths, and emerge in textural disarray.

The Choral Music of SchubertFriday 17 November, 1:05pm School of Music Choir conducted by Bryan White

This weekend's concerts form part of the celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of the Schubert Institute Research Committee and its valuable work maintaining and expanding the Schubert archive in the Brotherton Library.

This programme explores the breadth of Schubert’s choral works including secular and liturgical a cappella settings for mixed chorus, secular choral pieces with piano accompaniment, and pieces for men’s and women’s voices. Amongst the works included in the concert are Salve Regina in B flat, D386, Gott der Weltschöpfer, D698, Die Allmacht, D875a, Bootgesang, D835 and the 23rd Psalm, D706.


The Orchestral Music of SchubertSaturday 18 November, 2:30pm School of Music Orchestra conducted by Clive McClelland

Franz SchubertOverture Alfonso und Estrella Rosamunde Entr'acte no 3 Symphony no 8 in B minor (completed by Brian Newbould)

The programme is designed to explore the links between Schubert's 'Unfinished' Symphony in B minor and his incidental music to Rosamunde. The overture may have been originally intended for Rosamunde, while another entr'acte from that (also in B minor and with identical orchestration) forms the finale in the completed version of the symphony. The missing scherzo of the symphony has been completed from Schubert’s sketches by former Leeds lecturer Brian Newbould.


Ewan McLennanFriday 1 December, 1:05pm Ewan McLennan has come to be known as a guitarist at the very forefront of his generation; a troubadour, balladeer and storyteller cut in the old style; a singer that can move audiences with his passion and pathos; and a songwriter for whom social justice is still a burning issue.

From a BBC Horizon Award for his debut album to his performances on the iconic Transatlantic Sessions, recent years have been marked by numerous awards and accolades for his music. Ewan McLennan's most recent solo album, 'Stories Still Untold', continued this reception:

'Ewan McLennan has realised his potential on a wonderful album of traditional folk'

**** The Telegraph

Ewan's most recent project entitled Breaking the Spell of Loneliness - a collaboration with renowned author and journalist George Monbiot - seeks to use music and word to open up the issue of loneliness. Their UK tour and concept album have received wide acclaim and been featured widely, including live appearances on BBC Two's Newsnight, BBC Radio 4's Front Row and BBC Radio 3's In Tune.

The Golden Thread Music for GamelanFriday 24 November, 1:05pm The University of Leeds Gamelan Ensemble will perform a collection of traditional music, contemporary repertoire and new pieces on the School of Music’s Javanese Gamelan. This set of bronze gongs and metallophones, named The Golden Thread in reference to Leeds’ strong connections with the textile industry, was hand-crafted in the court city of Surakarta in Central Java fourteen years ago. The ensemble is directed by Emily Crossland (MA York), a former student of Dr Neil Sorrell and a performer, composer and educator with various northern gamelan ensembles.
