TORN APART BY HISTORY – ÇI DEM ASLAN

SUNDAY 5 JUNE, 7.30pm

Sheffield Cathedral

The world of two once-integrated communities was torn apart by the violent events of history, as conjured up in Louis de Bernière’s favourite of his novels Birds Without Wings. Though the shared music and songs took their separate ways thereafter, their common heritage could not be denied.

Istanbul-born singer Çi dem Aslan brings an authentic voice and exquisite styling to the poignant songs associated with the Greek and Turkish diasporas created after the

SHEFFIELD UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRAS CONCERT

MONDAY 6 JUNE, 7.30pm

Sheffield Cathedral

Music to include:

Copland: Appalachian SpringCopland: Clarinet ConcertoBeethoven: Romance in F

Sheffield University Symphony OrchestraGeorge Nicholson (conductor)

Jessop SinfoniaDavid Ross (conductor)Peter Cropper (violin)

Beethoven’s lyrical Romance in F for Violin and Orchestra is framed by two works by the “Dean of American Music”- the melodious jazz infused Clarinet Concerto and the ballet score Appalachian Spring which conjures up images of an ideal America, full with limitless opportunities, which has achieved ongoing popularity as an orchestral suite.

Tickets: £8, £5 (concessions), £2.50 (students/unwaged)

forced population exchanges between the two countries in the 1920s. Çi dem Aslan is rather unique today in presenting a programme in both Greek and Turkish, and is one of few young singers focusing on an authentic interpretation of the tradition. A revival of interest in “rebetiko” (the proper term for this style of music) today is one way in which two famously divided peoples are rediscovering their common history and culture - often in a side street bar over a strong drink and singing along to distant yet not-forgotten lyrics.

JEHAN ALAIN – MAN AND MUSIC

TUESDAY 7 JUNE, 7.30pm

Sheffield Cathedral

Fate granted very little time to an artist who died prematurely at the very beginning of the Second World War at the age of twenty-nine. Born in 1911, Jehan Alain was a French organist and composer. Born into a musical family, Alain’s talent became evident at an early age and he later studied at the Paris Conservatoire, winning first prizes for harmony, fugue, organ and improvisation.

His compositional output covers choral, vocal and piano music, in addition to music for the organ for which he is best known. He was influenced by the music of Claude Debussy and Olivier Messiaen, but evidence of Far Eastern influences (likely acquired at one of the Paris Expositions) and an interest of baroque and jazz music can also be found in his work.

His studies barely completed, Alain found himself at war as a soldier in the Eighth Motorised Armoured Division. He took part in the struggle, displaying exceptional bravery and confidence, and was killed by enemy fire on 20th May 1940.

Anthony Gowing, Assistant Master of the Music at Sheffield Cathedral, performs some of Jehan Alain’s most treasured organ works and delivers a talk giving insight into the life and work of this remarkable musician.

Tickets: £5, £3 (concessions), £2 (students/unwaged)

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925)

THURSDAY 9 JUNE, 9.00pm

Sheffield Cathedral

A cinematic horror masterpiece of the silent film genre, Prepare to be spooked by a late night screening, the perfect architectural setting, and improvised organ accompaniment by virtuoso Darius Battiwalla.

Lon Chaney stars as Erik (the Phantom) in his most famous and most horrifying role. The story concerns Erik, a much-feared fiend who haunts the Paris Opera House. Lurking around the damp, dank passages deep in the cellars of the theatre, he secretly coaches understudy Christine Daae to be an opera singer. Through a startling sequence of terrors, including sending a giant chandelier crashing down on the opera patrons, the phantom causes murder and mayhem in an attempt to force the management of the opera house to make the woman he is so desperately in love with a star.

Tickets: £6, £4 (students/unwaged)

URSULA SEMINAR SERIES

The hypothesis of the URSULA project (Urban River Corridors and Sustainable Living Agendas) is that there are significant social, economic and environmental gains to be made by integrated and innovative interventions in urban river corridors. We are testing this by providing a portfolio of new ideas, new tools and new data to support redevelopment of urban river corridors as places where people want to live and work, now and in the future. We are a multi-disciplinary research group, and are keen to encourage presentations by a range of talented practitioners in different fields. To this end, we have arranged this monthly programme of talks.
