Synopsis At Westminster Abbey on today's date in 1998 a haunting new setting of the Latin mass written by the British composer Roxanna Panufnik received its premiere performance. Roxanna Panufnik was born in London in 1968, and if her family name sounds familiar, it's because her father was Andrzej Panufnik, one of the greatest Polish composers of the 20th century. Roxanna's interest in music began early: “I was three years old ... when I said ‘Mummy, I want a violin with a stick to make it sing!' I started violin, piano and flute. But I only wanted to make up my own music. When I was 12, [the composer] Oliver Knussen, visiting my parents, told me I should write down my improvisations. It all went from there.” And in response to questions about having a famous composer as her father, she says: “My father had enormous integrity, always teaching me to be myself... Early in my career I was very sensitive to being compared to him and a few stray remarks about nepotism dented my confidence. However, I plodded on and now I'm thrilled to be regularly programmed alongside him and I'm so proud of where and who I came from.” Music Played in Today's Program Roxanna Panufnik (b. 1968) Westminster Mass Westminster Cathedral Choir; James O'Donnell, conductor.

- Podejmuję tę próbę od 30 lat, tym bardziej że mam teraz podwójne obywatelstwo. Wciąż jednak przegrywam. Mam nadzieję, że już niedługo ktoś wymyśli jakieś oprogramowanie, które za pomocą wkładanego do ucha USB pozwoli zainstalować w mózgu podstawy nowego języka - mówiła w Dwójce Roxanna Panufnik, polsko-brytyjska kompozytorka, której utwór zabrzmiał podczas niedawnej koronacji Karola III.
Synopsis Dealing with the death of loved ones is never easy, but sometimes music can help – especially if music plays a role in the lives of both the departed and survivors. And some survivors find both meaning and consolation in commissioning a work of new music to honor the memory of those they have lost.On today's date in 2007, the Choral Arts Society of Philadelphia gave the premiere of such a memorial work, entitled Love Abide. The work was commissioned by Paul Rowley, who for years had driven his wife Miriam to weekly Choral Society of Philadelphia rehearsals, where she sang alto, always, said her husband, “beaming with excitement.” After her sudden death in 2003, Rowley asked the society's artistic director to choose a composer to write a tribute to his wife. Rowley had a text in mind for the lyrics and wanted an alto solo and a female composer. The commission went to the British composer Roxanna Panufnik and the selected text was the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians, which includes the lines: “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all thinks, endures all things … faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” Music Played in Today's Program Roxanna Panufnik (b. 1968) – Love Abide (London Oratory School Choir; London Mozart Players; Lee Ward, cond.)

In an extended conversation with Tom Service, the American composer John Adams, who's turned 75 this year, discusses his life in music, the importance of his legacy, and focuses on his new opera 'Antony and Cleopatra'. It was premiered this week, with a libretto adapted by the composer from Shakespeare, Virgil, and the Egyptian book of the dead and it's Adams' very first stage work inspired by characters from Ancient history. Sir Nicholas Kenyon, who was at the premiere of Adams' new piece in San Francisco, reviews the opera for us. And J.S. Bach's mysteriously unfinished ‘Little Organ Book' is finally completed with the composition of 118 new pieces by contemporary composers - we visit a church in Chelsea to hear from one of the contributors, Roxanna Panufnik, as well as from organist William Whitehead, who conceived the project and who leads its premiere in London later this month.
What's it like to be asked to compose a new piece for the Proms? I don't know, but Roxanna Panufnik absolutely does, having had her commission 'Songs of Darkness, Dreams of Light ' played at the Last Night in 2018. We chatted about her Polish heritage, how her work draws on complementary religious traditions and I tested out on her my exciting new concept for a game show 'I Wrote It'. And Harry the Piano rounds things off with his jazzy take on Handel. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We talk to her about the stories behind Heartfelt. Following their residency at Cern, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, the Brighton-based artist duo Semiconductor have created a multisensory installation Halo, showing as part of the Brighton Festival. Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt discuss their immersive artwork of sound and light, which takes the form of an intricate mechanical structure containing a 360-degree projection of scientific data and 380 resonating taut piano wires. Eileen Agar: Angel of Anarchy is a major retrospective of the Cubist and Surrealist artist (1899-1991) at the Whitechapel Gallery in London. Louisa Buck joins us to discuss the show and gives us her own selection of exhibitions across the UK that she’s looking forward to, which can finally now open.

Idag har jämställdheten förbättrats och kvinnliga dirigenter blir inte längre lika ifrågasatta, menar hon. Sofia Nyblom träffade Nathalie Stutzmann i Konserthuset i Stockholm.
