Aldeburgh Festival 2016: 10-26 June

17-year-old pianist Julian Trevelyan, an Aldeburgh Young Musician, plays the piece The Curlew from composer Olivier Messiaen’s grand evocation of birdsong, Catalogue d’Oiseaux, in the reeds surrounding Snape Maltings on England's Suffolk coast. The curlew is the bird most associated with both Snape and the unmistakable call of the curlew is a feature of walking outdoors at Snape Maltings, audible across the reeds.

The centrepiece of Aldeburgh Festival 2016 sees Pierre-Laurent Aimard performing the entirety of Messiaen’s Catalogue d’Oiseaux over four concerts, from sunrise to midnight on Sunday 19 June, set against the panoramic backdrops and teeming wildlife of Snape Maltings and RSPB Minsmere.

Birdsong fascinated French composer Olivier Messiaen all his life. Catalogue d’Oiseaux is his largest work inspired by birds, a 150-minute piece for solo piano which creates a rich musical language from the depictions of 77 species of bird that Messiaen heard in the Camargue region of south-west France. One of the world’s leading interpreters of Messiaen’s piano music, Pierre-Laurent Aimard creates a day that animates the piece as never before. Hear the birds evoked by the piano alongside the myriad real birds of the Suffolk coast amidst the region’s unspoilt expanses of reedbeds, marshy waters and sky.

Julian Trevelyan is featured at Aldeburgh Festival 2016 as a performer in the final-weekend Mikrokosmos project in a relay of pianists (https://tickets.aldeburgh.co.uk/Onlin...) that also includes Emanuel Ax, Tamara Stefanovich, Håkon Austbø, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, local children and adult beginners who have signed up to Aldeburgh Festival’s Grade 1 Challenge (http://www.aldeburgh.co.uk/gradeone).
