Catching up, January 2024
This Week in Classical Music: January 8, 2024. Catching up. Last week we simply wished you a happy New Year, so this week we’ll try to make up for it and cover the first two weeks of the year. January 5th should be officially named Piano Day, as on this day three great pianists were born: Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, in 1920, Alfred Brendel, in 1930, and Maurizio Pollini, in 1942.

The Edinburgh Benedetti Sessions took place from 9 – 11 December at Stewart's Melville College, Edinburgh. Over the weekend the Foundation worked with just shy of 450 young people, the largest ever number to attend the Benedetti Sessions. The Edinburgh Sessions were led by Nicola Benedetti and the Foundation’s team of tutors, hosting young people of all ages and stages and instrumental teachers from across Edinburgh. The Sessions approach music in a way that inspires fun and enjoyment, a greater sense of togetherness, and a true abandonment of caution, as well as connecting to creativity, rhythm and improvisation.On Saturday, the Intermediate and Advanced Orchestras came together to work on a new piece for mass string orchestra – Enigma-Bolero arr. The Ayoub Sisters.More information from the Benedetti Foundation website.
