April 8 at 3:30
West Building, West Garden Court
Presented in honor of the exhibition Michel Sittow:Estonian Painter at the Courts of Renaissance Europe

The vocal ensemble Heinavanker is a unique meeting point for musicians active in different fields. Since 1996, under the direction of composer Margo Kõlar, the group has delved into early sacred music, our ancestors' traditions and contemporary imagination. Ancient Estonian runic songs and folk hymns are an important part of Heinavanker's repertoire. The name Heinavanker (Estonian for "hay wagon") originates from Hieronymus Bosch's (1453–1516) Haywain Triptych. The allegoric scenes of this strange painting seem like they could be inspired by modern life. In the midst of chaos, music arises.

Fretwork
April 15 at 3:30
West Building, West Garden Court

"When Fretwork recorded Bach's Art of Fugue in 2002, we made no attempt to complete the final contrapunctus, preferring to end our recording exactly how the manuscript ends, the music trailing off in dramatic fashion. However, since then I have become increasingly dissatisfied with this approach and I have tried to find a more fitting conclusion to this great work. Reading more, it became clear that, despite C. P. E. Bach's assertion on that last page of his father's manuscript that his death interrupted the composition, in fact the work was written much earlier. This is the last work of the author, which contains all sorts of counterpoints and canons, on a single principal subject. His last illness prevented him from completing his project of bringing the next-to-last fugue to completion and working out the last one, which was to contain four themes and to have been afterward inverted note for note in all four voices. I have taken his suggestions and made one possible completion of the work." —Richard Boothby, director, Fretwork
