Whilst the vuvuzela was the inescapable sound of the summer, thanks to the World Cup in South Africa, Autumn at Turner Sims brings a plethora of instruments to charm and enchant. The voice is the most natural instrument of all, of course, and we celebrate this in a variety of ways. Bach’s joyous Christmas Oratorio is delivered by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. At the other end of the spectrum is the solo voice: Sally Matthews, with a programme including some of Canteloube’s evocative Chants d’Auvergne; Natacha Atlas’s captivating fusion of Western and Arabic, and new fado sensation Ana Moura all feature. Norma Waterson and Eliza Carthy, two artists inextricably linked with traditional music of England, bring their new programme to us in October.

Celebrations of a different type are evident elsewhere in the season. Legendary American composer Terry Riley is 75 this year and jazz trumpeter Kenny Wheeler is 80. Both visit in the Autumn. There are anniversaries to celebrate too. The centenary of Django Reinhardt’s birth has inspired guitarist Martin Taylor to reform his Spirit of Django group. And whilst Reinhardt has been rather a slow burn in terms of profile Chopin has been omnipresent throughout this 200th anniversary year. Louis Lortie is one of his great interpreters and I’m delighted that we are able to bring this insightful artist to Turner Sims to present a pianistic Everest: the composer’s Etudes complete in one evening.

For an exhilarating sound experience don’t miss the Master Drummers of Africa. And if you prefer noise kept to a minimum head to our silent film event – Chaplin, Keaton et al – as part of Southampton Film Week. All in all, a season to shout about, whether your preferred decibel level is the quiet and reflective or the full-on and rousing.

Our orchestral series brings some of the country’s leading groups to Turner Sims.

Bach is our focus for the Autumn with two iconic works to enjoy: the Brandenburg Concertos in a special day of events for BBC Radio 3 with the Academy of Ancient Music, and the Christmas Oratorio, conducted by one of the great Bach interpreters, John Butt. 2011 sees Mark Padmore complete his Britten orchestral song cycle with the composer’s Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings, whilst Russian virtuoso Nikolai Demidenko offers Mozart youthful piano concerto in a programme with the European Union Chamber Orchestra.

The concert opens with an exuberant piece by Haydn, the ‘father’ of the string quartet. Shostakovich’s Second Quartet was written in 1944 and reflects the composer’s wartime experiences. In contrast, Mendelssohn’s sunny Second Quartet, written when the composer was only 18, shows a youthful sense of optimism.

Friday 19 November – 8pm

Beethoven’s light-hearted Septet is the main work in tonight’s concert, the first of two visits to Turner Sims this season by members of the LMP. The work proved highly popular during Beethoven’s lifetime much to the composer’s disgust who felt that it overshadowed some of his more serious offerings. Nielsen’s work, written in 1914, takes the Septet’s instrumentation as a starting point and was described by the composer as a humorous trifle. Strauss’ work is most familiar in its orchestral guise but this chamber version captures the spirit of the larger work in just eight minutes.

His Turner Sims recital opens with Janácek’s autobiographical work and closes with Schumann’s intensely personal work, the first movement of which is a lament for being separated from his future wife Clara. Beethoven’s monumental sonata, pitting man against nature, is one of the composer’s most fiery works, demanding of both performer and instrument.

One of the country’s outstanding young quartets make their fi rst visit to Turner Sims with a programme which includes Dvorák’s masterpiece. Written whilst the Bohemian-born composer was living in America he described the work as a ‘musical postcard’ to his native land. Beethoven’s pioneering work is one of a set of three commissioned by one of the composer’s most generous patrons.

MOZART BIRTHDAY CONCERT

DENYS BAPTISTE QUARTET

Thursday 27 January – 8pm

Saturday 29 January – 8pm

Join us for a celebration of the composer described by Chopin as encompassing ‘the entire domain of musical creation’. And who better than members of the LMP to mark Mozart’s birthdate, the composer with whom they are synonymous? This evening’s programme marks the occasion in style with two of Mozart’s greatest works, the wind serenades K375 and K388.

To coincide with the release of his much anticipated new album Identity by Subtraction saxophonist Denys Baptiste presents his most progressive set to date. Returning to a classic quartet format the music combines the many cultural impressions and expressions of Europe, North America and the Caribbean that have come to define Baptiste as an artist. At the same time his music remains entirely accessible with melodic free-flowing, contemporary compositions.
