Chamber Academy Potsdam
Martin Fröst – Clarinet and conductor

Off to the dance! Mozart would not be told twice. He loved social gatherings where things literally went round and round. Contemporaries attested to his immense urge to move. No wonder that this is also evident in countless of his compositions. From the “Prague Symphony”, for example, whose Presto finale makes it almost impossible to keep your feet still. In the program under the motto “Dance Mosaic”, Martin Fröst and the Kammerakademie Potsdam make the lively symphony the destination and head towards it with works that tell as much about dance as they do about (spiritual) relationships. Carl Maria von Weber’s Clarinet Concerto, for example, which naturally had an important model in the work of Weber’s cousin by marriage, Mozart. And there are also family ties in the program for the soloist and conductor himself: the “Romance Dances” are a joint work by the Swedish brothers Martin and Goran Fröst.

Gerald Finzi – Five Bagatelles
Nicole Rubinova – TBA (world premiere)
Debussy – Premiere Rhapsodie

Kristina Newton – clarinet
Joel Slott – piano

Based in Gothenburg, Sweden, international duo Dialogue of Minds visits Burgh House in their second London tour.

Praised for their “great sensitivity” and technical virtuosity, British-Australian clarinettist Kristina Newton and Swedish pianist Joel Slott come together in an evening where timeless masters of classical music meet with exciting new voices of today.

The programme commences with the Australian Margaret Sutherland’s lyrical clarinet sonata. The energetic high points of Finzi’s ‘Five Bagatelles’ and Debussy’s romantic ‘Première Rhapsodie’ will both draw parallels with the alternatingly vivid and melodic ‘Suite Fantastique’ by Swedish composer and professor Rolf Martinsson.

Dialogue of Minds is also proud to present newly commissioned work by celebrated Swedish composer Nicole Rubinova. The programme will conclude with a joyful virtuosic arrangement of Mozart’s ‘Eine kleine Nachtmusik’.
