British artist will be featured as a composer, pianist and curator in a wide range of works. 'He is a towering figure in music,' says SummerFest Music Director Inon Barnatan
When SummerFest Music Director Inon Barnatan this year invited one of the world’s most versatile and in-demand composers — who’s also a world-touring conductor and dynamic pianist — Barnatan wanted to let all of his talents shine.
The takeover program will include two pieces by Adès performed by the Calder Quartet. It will also showcase Four Berceuses from Adès’ third opera, “The Exterminating Angel.” It is based on surrealist director Luis Buñuel’s 1962 movie of the same name. The performers will include Adès on piano, Itsuki Yamamoto on viola and Mark Simpson on clarinet.
“You’re playing the same thing with both hands, but at different speeds. You can hear it very clearly. It’s witty. It’s like four animals who are moving at different speeds. The last canon is a fast crescendo and a brilliant finish. I love the music — it speaks to me.At the Takeover concert, the other non-Adès composition is by Simpson who will perform his piece, Lov, with Barnatan on piano. Simpson debuted Lov in England 17 years ago, but this will be its U.S. premiere.
“I return to the concertina often,” Adès said. “It’s one of Janáček’s greatest works, but it’s not performed too often. It’s a unique grouping of instruments — a mixture of strings and winds. A festival like this is the perfect setting for it.” Also on Saturday, Adès will play Schubert’s Piano Quintet in A Major. He believes it’s likely the first piece of music he ever heard.
