Russia 17, Marking the Centenary of the Russian Revolution: Peter Donohoe (piano)

7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Cardiff University Concert Hall

World renowned pianist Peter Donohoe takes us on a journey of eighty years of virtuoso Russian music in a programme juxtaposing the brooding expressivity of Scriabin and Rachmaninov with the acerbic yet lyrical Stravinsky, the burning fervour of Prokofiev and more contemplative Shostakovich before culminating with Mussorgsky’s gargantuan Pictures at an Exhibition.

Rwsia 17: Datganiad Piano gan Peter Donohoe

7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Cardiff University Concert Hall

Ar ôl ei lwyddiant ysgubol yng Nghystadleuaeth Rhyngwladol Tchaikovsky yn 1982 yn Moscow, mae Peter Donohoe wedi ennill ei le fel un o bianyddion mwyaf nodedig ein cyfnod. Mae’n arbenigwr ar gerddoriaeth Rwsia, ac mae ei recordiadau o Rachmaninov, o holl weithiau piano Scriabin a holl Sonatau Prokofiev, yn ogystal â llawer gwaith arall gan Shostakovich a Stravinsky wedi ennill bri rhyngwladol iddo.

Music and the Animal Kingdom: Hsiang Tu (piano), Julian Carter, Principal Conservator (Natural Sciences)

Cofio’r Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf: Gwrthdaro a Chreadigrwydd: Battle of Ancre Cerddorfa Siambr Prifysgol Caerdydd

3:00 pm - 4:15 pm
Brangwyn Hall, Swansea

Ffilmiwyd The Battle of the Ancre rhwng mis Medi a mis Tachwedd 1916 a cheir ynddo am y tro cyntaf hen ffilm o danciau a ddefnyddiwyd ar flaen y gâd. Rhwng y dilyniannau o’r frwydr dangoswyd i gynulleidfaoedd agweddau mwy dynol y rhyfel wrth i’r “Tommies” Prydeinig gael eu gweld yn sefyll mewn rhesi i dderbyn llythyrau, dognau o fwyd ac yn cymysgu gyda’r carcharorion Almaenaidd. Bu llwyddiant masnachol y ffilm yn ystod y tri mis cyntaf yn uwch nag i’w raglflaenydd The Battle of the Somme oherwydd bod yr hen ffilm o danciau heb erioed gael ei weld o’r blaen.

This Jamo Jamo Arts performance reaches beyond the 1960s program of secularization (or “demystification” initially led by Sekou Touré’s socialist government in Guinea) into the regional spiritual forms that were adapted for stage performance, many of which are still performed in healing rituals in community settings.
