MUSIC DIRECTORATE& EVENTS
January – June 2013
January – June 2013 3
Welcome to the Music ProgrammeIt gives me great pleasure to welcome you back to the second half of our current concert season. As you will have come to expect of us by now, our musical offerings will be typically broad and diverse.
We have the return of our ‘regulars’: the Adelphi Brass Band; the University of Salford’s Big Band, Brass and Wind Bands, our choir and Adelphi Contemporary Music Group. Our ‘Voices’ and ‘Mix’ events will continue to showcase our excellent talent from popular music genres and the ‘Jazz 645’ series returns which will include the annual staff band performance.
Our Salford Sonic Fusion Festival will take place in March featuring cutting edge contemporary music from many corners of the world including: Italy, Canada, Serbia, Lithuania, USA, Argentina, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Brazil, Russia, Australia, France, Poland, Greece, Austria and Georgia. This year it will feature more performing artists and will attempt more directly to fuse areas of contemporary avant-garde music traditions with that from the fringes of experimental electronic dance and improvised music. More details will become available by February 2013, see www.salford.ac.uk/events.
The University of Salford’s new School of Arts & Media has its first end of year Show in June. This is now evolving into an exciting festival of arts encompassing many disciplines across the new School. Hosted at a variety of interesting venues at Salford Quays during Friday 12 to Sunday 16 June, the work of our Music students will feature strongly alongside their many creative colleagues.
I do hope that you will be able to join us on many occasions in the months ahead.
Best wishes,
Professor Stephen Davismoon Director of Music

January – June 2013 7
REFLEKTOR2 Concert and MasterclassWednesday 30 January, concert 1.00 – 2.10pm, masterclass 2.20 – 3.20pm
Jan Kopinski Tenor Saxophone
Steve Iliffe Piano
Admission: Free
Venue: Peel Hall, University of Salford, M5 4WT
Jan and Steve perform their original score live to the film ‘Berlin: Symphony of a Great City’, director Walter Ruttmann, 1927, Germany.
REFLEKTOR2 is a poignant dawn to dusk portrait of 1920s Berlin, combining documentary, abstract and lyrical imagery. With its masterly camerawork and assured editing, ‘Berlin’ was hugely successful on its release, and that rarity, a film both popular and avant-garde.
Making music to ‘Berlin’
‘Writing and performing to this seminal city film from a 21st century perspective is always hugely different than from a contemporary viewpoint. Following those celebratory mute, interwar testimonies, the terrifying weight of history upon that city not only brings poignancy and emotion to any musical thought, but adds a personal and human dimension.
For us ‘Berlin’ is more than a city film, beautifully created and framed though it is, it also demands intensity of feeling through performance as the kaleidoscopic imagery captures the moment, and lives of its people before the storms to come. How to respond to its vigour and its ultimate sadness at the same time is the challenge. We attempt to portray this by playing with intimacy and, at times, abandonment.’
Kopinski and Iliffe have a long musical partnership ranging from cult-like contemporary jazz groups, (PINSKI ZOO), to music to image (Mirrors) and silent film (‘Earth’, ‘Nosferatu’). Their composing and improvising skills, textural sense and interaction in performance bring real empathy to the silent film.

January – June 2013 2322 Music programme
Salford Sonic Fusion Festival 2013Thursday 21 - Sunday 24 March
This exciting contemporary music festival will present 4 days full of a wide variety of sonic experiences: from sound installations and sound-art to audio-visual and interactive live works; through to live performances; and will include no less than 6 UK and 8 world premiere performances. It will also present many works that combine the audio with the visual, in surprising ways.
These many new works will be allowed to resonate alongside rather older, more historic experimental music, causing an interesting counterpoint and context for musical innovation. For example, the 100th anniversaries of Maurice Ohana and Withold Lutoslawski will be marked, as well as the work of Roland Kayn (1933 - 2011) often credited as being an important (if rather overlooked) pioneer of cybernetic music; one of the elder statesmen of Parisian contemporary Music Paul Mefano (b 1937) will also receive a portrait concert within the festival.
The programme will feature performances by international artists and musicians recognised as having had significant influence in contemporary experimental music such as Roberto Fabbriciani who has collaborated with major contemporary composers Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage and Luigi Nono. Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti, who have been at the forefront of the avant garde popular music scene for the past 20 years will open the festival. These musicians will appear alongside other international figures as well as those of an emerging generation of new and exciting artists including our very own staff and students from the Music Directorate.
Information and full programme details of performance times and venues will be available from February 2013 see www.salford.ac.uk/events
