Re: Free Classical Concert with SFF
If that can be of any consolation to you, it seems there'll be more tickets available tomorrow morning for the coming week end!
Thing is, they mass mail the code and I guess by the time it makes its way to one of the forums, the concerts are fully booked! Also the venue is not as big as a movie theatre and between those b*ying tickets, freebies from other sources etc, there's probably just a few pairs available through SFF.

Re: Free Classical Concert with SFF
SFF offered some other musical tickets a week or two ago... I remember some tickets for jazz pianos, and on the following night, harps... 
I was too slow to get any. 
If this is a new ongoing thing, I welcome it! A bit of culture never did any harm. Bring on the next classical concerts!!

Re: Free Classical Concert with SFF
Exactly my thought! I did get tickets to the classical concert last Friday and I went for the Beethoven & Strauss one. That was my first ever classical music concert and I didn't have a clue what I was in for! I mean, there are instruments I've never seen before and I still don't know what they are!!!priamia wrote:If this is a new ongoing thing, I welcome it! A bit of culture never did any harm.

The first bit was a bit too slow for me, it almost put me to sleep! 
But then the second part was definitely livelier and I loved it. The hall was gorgeous and the building itself is really beautiful.-

BEETHOVENS PIANO SONATAS 8
Friday 26 Jun 2009 at 7.30pm
Jean-Bernard Pommier piano
Jean-Bernard Pommier Born in France, began playing the piano at age 4 and gave his first public concert at the age of 7. He is enjoying an increasingly active career as a conductor working with major orchestras in Europe and America. His most recent conducting engagements include the San Francisco Symphony, Orchestre de Paris, Orchestre Philarmonique de Radio France, the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, RAI Turin, Tonhalle Zürich, Warsaw Philharmonic, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, Budapest Symphony, Leipzig Radio, Belgium National Orchestra and the Salzburg Mozarteum. He also frequently takes up the dual role of pianist and conductor with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, the Northern Sinfonia of England, the Sinfonia Varsovia, the Israel Chamber Orchestra, the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, the English chamber Orchestra or the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
PROGRAMME:
Sonata No. 30 in E major, Op. 109
Sonata No. 31 in A flat major, Op. 110
Sonata No. 32 in C minor, Op. 11
In this, the final recital in this comprehensive sonata cycle, Pommier reaches the supreme lightness of Sonata No. 30 in E major and the superhuman struggles dramatised in the final Sonata No. 32, Op. 111.
============================================================================
FILM of BEETHOVEN's THE NINTH
Saturday 27 Jun 2009 at 11.30am
Dir. Pierre Henry Salfati,
based on a book by Esteban Buch (100 mins)
Since 1824, the year of its creation, the Ninth Symphony has been the subject of paradoxical appropriations. Before becoming the European hymm it was used by Ian Smith in Rhodesia, and for Nazi and socialist propaganda. The Ninth tells a story of the successive manipulations of this protean work.
Please Note: Films are shown on Betamax video tapes therefore the quality may be less than perfect
BEETHOVENS CELLO SONATAS
Saturday 27 Jun 2009 at 7.30pm
Christoph Richter cello
Denes Varjon piano
Programme:
12 Variations on 'Ein Madchen oder Weibchen' from Mozart's Magic Flute
Sonata No. 3 in A, Op. 69
Sonata No. 4 in C, Op. 102 No. 1
Sonata No. 5 in D, Op. 102 No. 2
The radiance of the great A major Sonata Op. 69, written 'under grief and tears', is contrasted with the pungent wit and ingenuity of the Op. 102 sonatas, and the delightfully mischievous 'Magic Flute' variations.
======================================================================
Ludwig String Trio
Peter Cropper violin
James Boyd viola
Paul Watkins cello
Phillippa Davies flute
Programme:
Serenade in D, Op. 25 for flute, violin and viola
String Trio in C minor, Op. 9 No. 3
String Trio in E Flat, Op. 3
Mozart might have been the inspiration for Beethoven's ground-breaking String Trio in E flat, Op.3, but Beethoven did not seek to imitate, rather to break up his predecessor's long melodies, to deconstruct the 18th century.

Re: Free Classical Concert with SFF
Why do they send me codes on classical music through SFF?
I don't even like classical music. I checked my settings and that is most certainly not an option!
