Abstract

Notes of premières of new works run from three months before to three months following publication of this issue, i.e. from 1 July to 31 December 2013. There is therefore a three-month overlap between issues, and omissions and late news for the three 'following' months of the current issue will be picked up in the three 'prior' months of the next one. News of more distant forthcoming premières is given more briefly; full details will be found in subsequent issues. hans abrahamsen let me tell you (première)-20 December Berlin, Philharmonie / Barbara Hannigan (sop), Berlin PO c.
