   East Meets West Mini Festival

   To chime in with Kirill Karabits' ‘East-West’ musical theme for his first season of concerts with the BSO, Kokoro’s annual ‘Mini-Festival Day’ will explores and expand the theme in terms of 20th and 21st century music. As in recent years Kokoro presents its survey with contributions from the Bournemouth Symphony Chorus, Dorset Youth Orchestra, Bournemouth Symphony Youth Chorus, as well as the London-based chamber choir Canticum. The conductors are Mark Forkgen and the Bournemouth Symphony Chorus’ recently appointed Chorus Master Gavin Carr.

   The composers whose music Kirill conducting this year include Debussy, Stravinsky and Rachmaninov, and all of them appear in the day, as does Prokofiev in the guise of his score to Eisenstein’s film Alexander Nevsky which will be shown in the cinema during the morning. The great Austro-Germanic tradition which in Kirill’s concerts is represented by Haydn’s Creation finds its 20th century counterpart in music by Henze and Schoenberg. Two composers that Kirill greatly admires are the Ukrainian Constantin Silvestrov and the Russian Rodion Shchedrin, whose music Kirill and the BSO recorded last summer. We’re delighted that both composers are represented in the programme by the UK premieres of Silvestrov’s Trio for flute, celesta and trumpet and Shchedrin’s Concertino for Chamber Choir respectively. Eastern Europe is also particularly featured with works by Dubra, Gorecki , Augustinas, Lutoslawski and Arvo Pärt  two of whose iconic works frame the concerts.
