BBC $50: A PORTRAIT OF JONATHAN HARVEY

Tramway, Glasgow, Fri 21 Jan

Back in the 605 when he was a post-grad student at Glasgow University, Jonathan Harvey could, from time to time, be seen depping at the back of the BBC SSO’s cello section. It's unlikely the thought crossed his mind then that 40 years later he‘d return to Glasgow as the same orchestra‘s composer in association. Now forming part of what is possibly the strongest contemporary music team of any UK symphony orchestra, Harvey is the focus of a portrait concert which also features the music of resident composer, Anna Meredith, and is conducted by the third member of the team, the dynamic young conductor, llan Volkov.

Volkov is passionate about modern music and says: ‘I have admired Jonathan Harvey’s work for a long time, and his pre-eminence is unquestionable. I am proud to be working alongside such a distinguished composer and enormously excited about the new work that he will be producing for us.’ Harvey’s credentials include doctorates from Cambridge and Glasgow universities, and he is renowned as one of the most innovative composers working in Europe today. Although this is his first appointment to a UK orchestra, Harvey has been commissioned by leading international contemporary music groups including Ensembles Modern and Intercontemporain. Electronic experimentation has led to four commissions by IRCAM at the invitation of Boulez, a Parisian collaboration that will bear further fruit in Glasgow in 2007.

Harvey's music has been described as having a ‘transcendental’ quality, with clear, lucid orchestration and imagination working together to produce scores such as the orchestral work Wheel of Emptiness. Also in the programme is his Ricercare for trumpet and tape-delay system, which will be performed by principal trumpet Mark O’Keeffe. And best of all, on the occasion of this first Glasgow concert featuring his music, you can

hear it all for free. (Carol Main)
