Emma Kirkby Soprano Chau-Yee Lo Harpsichord Thursday 21 January 2016 at 7:30pm A recital of Baroque and Modern Music for Voice and Harpsichord. Tickets: Early birds until 22 November £15 | £10 concessions, £20 | £12 Purcell Couperin Stockhausen and others including a performance of Stockhausen’s Tierkreis for Soprano and Harpsichord. The Priory Church of St Bartholomew the Great, West Smithfield, London EC1A 9DS www.dreamswisdominnocence.com Dreams Wisdom Innocence takes its title from Stockhausen’s Tierkreis, which began life in Stockhausen’s play with his toddler daughter, evolving into twelve simple melodies, one for each zodiac sign. Their dream-like innocence was a touchstone for the composer, who returned to them many times in his life as the basis for more extended pieces. Couperin’s music draws us into the evocative pastoral of the Baroque landscape, the gentle intimacy of his character pieces revealing his subtle and powerful insight into human nature. Purcell’s music also wears its art lightly, his songs crystallising love’s torments and pleasures in their dazzling economy. Programme includes: Karlheinz Stockhausen: Tierkreis (Nr. 414/5) François Couperin: Pieces from 6ième Ordre, including Les baricades mistérieuses Andrew Wilson-Dickson: ‘The Elephant’, from Karuṇā Songs and keyboard music by Henry Purcell.
