NLCE tenth anniversary coaching the National Youth Chamber Orchestra

Posted on March 7, 2012 by Joanna| Comments Off

The NLCE has been quintet in residence at the National Youth Chamber Orchestra courses for ten years. Each year they enjoy spending several intensive days coaching young players on exciting chamber and orchestral repertoire. The orchestral repertoire is always performed without a conductor – so it makes for challenging but rewarding coaching!  This year’s programme includes Haydn’s Symphony No.99 and Kodaly’s fantastically colourful Galanta Dances. To celebrate their tenth anniversary this year, they will be combining forces with members of the NYCO woodwind section to perform an extract from their new commission from Philip Cashian – Cortege – a wind dectet especially written for the NLCE to play alongside young musicians. The performance will take place on Monday 2nd April, alongside Martin Butler’s Dirty Beasts, narrated by the highly charismatic Paul Rissmann.

RVW Trust supports the NLCE in a new commission from Philip Cashian

Posted on January 20, 2012 by Philip Venables| Comments Off

We’re delighted to report that the RVW Trust have very generously decided to support a new initiative by the New London Chamber Ensemble.  The NLCE will commission Philip Cashian to write a new work for double wind quintet, which the NLCE will use as a side-by-side piece for student and young wind quintets to play alongside the NLCE.  This is a fabulous project to encourage youngsters with Phil’s dynamic style of ‘adrenlin-junkie’ new music, as well as offer experience playing with top-flight professionals.

The NLCE will be working with student quintets from the Royal Academy of Music, the Purcell School and the National Youth Chamber Orchestra.  And we hope to confirm collaborations with other institutions too.

Watch this space for more information and some video trailers of some ‘taster’ pieces that Phil is currently writing to promote the project.

Phoenix and NLCE concerts this week

Posted on June 6, 2011 by Philip Venables| Leave a comment

Fourfortytwo is taking over The Forge in Camden this week!  Well, on Wednesday and Sunday at least.

On Wednesday night, come along to hear the continuation of the Phoenix Piano Trio’s Beyond Beethoven series – including Beethoven’s ‘Ghost Trio’ and a new companion commission to accompany it by Philip Venables, called Klaviertrio im Geiste.

You can also catch Sholto, Marie and Jonny from the Phoenix Piano Trio on BBC Radio 3′s In Tune on Friday afternoon at about 4.45pm, performing excerpts from this concert and talking about their Beyond Beethoven project.  They’ll be repeating the programme at Oxford’s Holywell Music Room on Saturday evening.

On Sunday evening, we’re back again at The Forge for the New London Chamber Ensemble’s performance with guest pianist Michael Dussek. Their concert ‘Piano and Winds Converge at Forge’ will feature a revised sextet by Julian Philips, written specially for the quintet, and also brand new arrangements of Mozart miniatures by Philip Cashian and Julian Philips, alongside Mozart’s popular Quintet for piano and Winds and Poulenc’s lively Sextet.  Should be a colourful evening!  There’s also an interval talk by Catherine Burd, the architect who designed the Forge venue.  Tickets available here.

See you there!
