SUMMARY:ANAM Harmonies Du Soir French Festival: Rousseau vs. Rameau
DESCRIPTION:Harmonies Du Soir. A festival of French chamber music. A beautiful way to bring the year together. \nLa Querelle des Bouffons is a musical scandal that rattled Paris in the mid-18th century.  The dispute (literally “the quarrel of the comic actors”) pitted the French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau against philosopher-musician Jean-Jacques Rousseau. What began as an argument over the merits of French opera versus the lighter\, more playful Italian comic style quickly grew into a cultural flashpoint.  Writers\, politicians and salon circles took sides. Pamphlets flew. Newspapers fanned the flames\, caricatures like the famous Italian Cats engraving teased the uproar. Yet after two feverish years the quarrel fizzled\, and the Italian style emerged triumphant\, reshaping French taste and paving the way for a new era of comic opera.\n\nJean-Philippe RAMEAU Overture from Castor et Pollux\nClaude DEBUSSY String Quartet in G Minor\nJean-Jacques ROUSSEAU Overture from Le devin du village\nMaurice RAVEL Violin Sonata No. 2 \nDarius MILHAUD La création du monde\nGermaine TAILLEFERRE Notturno from Partita \nANAM Musicians \nThu 27 Nov 2025\, 7PM     Approximate duration: 2 hours\, including a 20-minute interval.  \nAbbotsford Convent\, Rosina Auditorium\, 1 St Heliers St\, ABBOTSFORD VIC \nTICKETS: A Little Extra $60.00; Standard $40.00; A Little Less $20.00\nCompanion Card Holder $0.00

SUMMARY:ANAM: Musica Ricercata
DESCRIPTION:icercare: To search out\, seek explore\, study. This Italian verb gave its name to a complex instrumental composition that you might most readily associate with Bach’s The Musical Offering. One of the most far-reaching examples of this genre is the work by the Italian composer of the late Renaissance\, Girolamo Frescobaldi\, which opens this concert – and casts its long shadow over everything that follows. \nThis concert looks down the centuries at one of the most inquisitive branches of the musical tradition. What are the limits of piano technique? Does some music need to be seen as well as heard? Can you listen to music in ways that have nothing to do with traditional Western ways of engagement? Is a work in which most or all the tonal elements have been removed still music or should we call it something else? Are there limits to the sounds composers and performers can extract from a piano? \nExploring these powerful questions with the ANAM piano cohort will be the new ‘Ambassador for New Music’ (The Ottawa Citizen)\, pianist Claudia Chan. A dazzlingly gifted and eloquent advocate for contemporary composers\, she was recently Artist-in-Residence of the contemporary music department at the famed Fondation Royaumont in France\, where she organized and presented concerts\, interdisciplinary projects\, and gave a series of lecture-recitals on new piano music. \nGirolamo FRESCOBALDI Ricercare cromatico post il Credo\nHelmut LACHENMANN Wiegenmusik\nHelmut LACHENMANN Guero\nLIGETI Études (selections)\nVassos NICOLAOU Études (selections)\nUnsuk CHIN Six Piano Études (selections)\nGyörg KURTÁG Játékok (selections)\nFrancesco FILIDEI Preludio\nFrancesco FILIDEI Garibaldi’s Little Rock\nFrancesco FILIDEI For Claudia\nFrancesco FILIDEI Toccata\nGyörg LIGETI Musica Ricercata  \nClaudia Chan director/piano  ANAM Pianists  \nFriday 05 April 2024\, 7 PM\nAbbotsford Convent\, Rosina Auditorium\, 1 St Heliers St \nTICKETS: A Little Extra $60.00; Standard $40.00; A Little Less $20.00 \nBuy now

SUMMARY:ANAM: Brave New Worlds: Liberté\, Égalité\, Fraternité
DESCRIPTION:Musical works act as aural records of turning points in the human story. This concert series offers a number of the most celebrated works of the canon\, some reflecting major developments in thought and philosophy\, and others showing the before and after of cataclysm. \nAcross four performances\, the faculty and musicians of ANAM explore the breadth of political upheaval in music\, from the enlightenment utopias of Mozart to the music born out of world war\, to music birthed from revolution and protest\, join us for this revolutionary journey to Brave New Worlds. \nIn one of the most loved musical anecdotes\, a fourteen-year-old Mozart arrives in Rome\, hears the Vatican choir sing Allegri’s famous Miserere and rushes back to his lodgings to write it out from memory. Allegri’s motet was a novel artefact from the hierarchical old world ruled by church dogma. Just 10 years later Mozart would write his ‘Gran’ Partita for winds\, a sonic expression of the new world guided be Enlightenment values: reason\, equality\, and the pursuit of individual happiness. Translated into music that meant a musical language that was less complex that the learned older styles. We’ve entered a brave new world. \nGregorio ALLEGRI Miserere mei\, Deus\nWolfgang Amadeus MOZART Serenade no. 10\, Gran Partita K.361 \nDavid Thomas (ANAM Faculty\, Head of Woodwind and Clarinet) director/clarinet\nANAM Musicians \nWednesday 27 Mar 2024\, 3 PM\nThe Good Shepherd Chapel (next to Abbotsford Convent)1 St Heliers St\, ABBOTSFORD VIC View Map \nTICKETS: A Little Extra $60.00; Standard $40.00; A Little Less $20.00
