Mayer's 7th symphony is in a program on April 30th and May 2 2024 @ Maison symphonique, Montréal, conducted by Rafael Payare.
Torino, Teatro Regio Orchestra, 30 march 2024, Respighi Vetrate di Chiesa (cond. Diego Ceretta)
Torino, Teatro Regio April 2024 seven performances of Puccini Le Villi (cond. Riccardo Frizza)
Apparently the only previous performances were in 1884.
Torino, 31 May and 1 June, Respighi Concerto Gregoriano (Frank Peter Zimmermann, violin, Daniel Harding, conductor, Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI).
More Fuchs, e.g.: his clarinet quintet in Vienna on 21 March 2024 with works by Felix Mendelssohn (quartet no.1 in E-flat Op.12) and Mozart (Prussian string quartet no.22 in B-flat, K.589), with the Artis Quartet (whose recordings are very fine, I think...) see here... (https://bachtrack.com/concert-event/artis-quartett-musikverein-brahms-saal-21-march-2024/388640)
the clarinet quintet again, on 26 May 2024 in Hamburg, with d'Indy's trio with clarinet op.29 and a divertimento by Ponchielli, performed by members of the Hamburg Symphony- see this link (https://bachtrack.com/concert-event/members-of-hamburger-symphoniker-laeiszhalle-kleiner-saal-26-may-2024/390023).
Reinecke choral works - Sommertagsbilder & Belsazar - are being performed in Leipzig by the Gewandhaus choir and camerata lipsiensis on 15 June- see description (https://bachtrack.com/concert-event/leipzig-gewandhaus-choir-camerata-lipsiensis-camerata-lipsiensis-gewandhaus-grosser-saal-15-june-2024/383029). One of 6 concerts between 9 March and 15 June 2024 in Leipzig listed by Bachtrack with works by Reinecke- some share a flutist (Katalin Stefula) but not sure how much otherwise they're a connected series so much maybe as a celebration of his 200th birthday?
I've posted before, but if you are in America, I'm gradually putting together a map of concerts filterable by composer/piece. It currently covers 266 orchestras for the 23/24 concert season. Much lower hit rate for composers of interest to folks here than it would be if I covered Europe--but on the other hand, the small Longmont Symphony Orchestra in Colorado restored Reicha's G Major symphony for a performance last year, which for me at least is about as exciting as it gets, so it's still worthwhile to browse! Let me know if you find any particularly exciting concerts.

Just noticed that a work by Heinrich Molbe will feature in two concerts next February- his "Air arabe, Op.77" - to be played by the ASMF Chamber Ensemble with well-known soloists, first in Palm Beach, Florida, then in Asheville, North Carolina (USA, if there's any question). Poulenc's oboe/bassoon/piano trio is also in both concerts, while they differ in the presence of Glinka's Trio pathétique in one vs. Françaix's Divertimento and Mozart's piano and wind quintet in the other. See February 7 in Palm Beach (https://bachtrack.com/concert-event/academy-of-st-martin-in-the-fields-chamber-ensemble-walter-s-gubelmann-auditorium-7-february-2024/393017), February 11 in Asheville (https://bachtrack.com/concert-event/academy-of-st-martin-in-the-fields-chamber-ensemble-central-united-methodist-church-11-february-2024/393022).
Aris Alexander Blettenberg will play piano music by Felix Draeseke and August Bungert on 9 April 2024 in Munich:
https://events.in-muenchen.de/muenchen/aris-alexander-blettenberg-r2512191469.html
There is no information, yet, which works will be performed, but its possible that the pianist will play Draesekes Sonata op. 6, of which he is a champion for years. Bungert has composed only one major piano work, the Variations op. 13.
The New Year's Concert at the Meiningen Staatstheater, Germany, will include Stanford's second piano concerto with Finghin Collins (who made an excellent recording of it for Claves back in 2010) and the Staatskapelle Meiningen. The concert is to mark the centenary of Stanford's death and will be repeated on 7 January 2024. The full programme is as follows:
Josef Strauss: Sphärenklänge
Charles Villiers Stanford: Klavierkonzert Nr. 2 in c-moll, op. 126
Walzer und Polkas der Strauss-Familie
Bill Whelan: Suite aus "Riverdance"

Before that the Metropolitan Orchestra under Yannick will be performing the Halvorsen violin concerto. This weekend!
The Conservatory Orchestra at Bard was supposed to be doing Ethel Smyth's Mass in D in December but it's not listed on the site anymore.
Could you consider duplicating the info about the this-weekend concert in the 2023 concerts thread? Thanks!
28 Jan 2024: The Münchner Rundfunkorchester (the second orchestra the Bavarian Radio has next to the better-known Symphonieorchester des Bayrischen Rundfunks, BRSO) is going to play two early operas by Rachmaninoff – of course not completely unsung, but I think they can both be considered a rarity for a live performance:
Francesca da Rimini
Aleko
(7 pm, Prinzregententheater Munich)
Quartets by Amy Beach and Charles Tomlinson Griffes will feature in a concert in Binghamton, NY, USA February 11, 2024. (https://binghamtonphilharmonic.org/event/5048550/635026707/castalia-string-quartet)

The Staatstheater Cottbus (southeast of Berlin) will see a concert by the Philharmonisches Orchester Cottbus and ancillary forces on June 21st and 23rd, which includes, amid a selection of Stamitz and Bruckner works, the Festival Overture in G for orchestra, choir and organ by Mathilde Kralik von Meyerswalden. A work, by the way, that ends in what used to be the melody to the Austrian and is now the German anthem.
More information here (https://www.staatstheater-cottbus.de/programm/philharmonisches-konzert/8-philharmonisches-konzert/), and a rather bad privately recorded video of the work here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqK-hjFnENA&list=RDVqK-hjFnENA&start_radio=1).
I have a rare LP of the Schnyder von Wartensee Second Symphony (not mentioned in Mike Herman's discography) which ends in precisely the same way.
As does Smetana's Festive Symphony. The subtitle of the Schnyder von Wartensee symphony is "Memory of Joseph Haydn" though, so he might have been referencing the string quartet in which the melody was first used!
...and Weingartner's concert overture "Aus ernster Zeit".
The Raff Sinfonietta is being performed again, this time in Carmel, Indiana (https://www.indianawindsymphony.org/events/great-classics-and-exciting-new-sounds-aey6c-c5g6t) on March 9, 2024.
Grieg-Begegnungsstätte Leipzig, February 25
Pianist Haruka Izawa plays, together with works by Skryabin and Beethoven, Felix Draeseke's Petite Histoire.
https://www.edvard-grieg.de/events/petites-histoires-et-grande-sonate
17 May 2024, Kronach, Kreiskulturraum
Richard Wagner: Prelude to Lohengrin
Felix Draeseke: Symphonic Andante for violoncello and orchestra
Max Baumann: Symphony No. 1
(a concert in memory of the 25th aniversary of the death of Max Baumann)
Jörg Ulrich Krah, violoncello
Hofer Symphoniker
Manuel Grund, conductor
That's very interesting for a Draeseke fan like me. The Symphonic Andante's never been recorded.
Recorded, but perhaps rare in concert: Draeseke's "Rothe Blaetter fallen" from "Daemmerungstraume", Op. 14 in a February 4 concert played by Zlata Chochieva, "People's Symphony Concerts", New York City - see concert description (https://www.pscny.org/zlata).
(The way they describe the idea behind their endeavour, it sounds like something a conductor named Henry once started.)
A few other things:
Jan. 27-29 2024, Farrenc's first concert overture is in a concert of the Oregon Symphony conducted by Mario Venzago (in Portland).
April 25 2024, Ordway Hall in St Paul Minnesota, Simon Crawford and Daniel Hope (https://schubert.org/event/daniel-hope-violin-simon-crawford-phillips-piano-2/) perform works by Schoenberg (stück in D minor, composed 1893-4), Enescu (impromptu concertante), Kreisler (Liebesleid), Ravel (Sonata, op.posth), Fauré (andante), and Franck's sonata in A...
Interesting news of a concert at the York Late Music festival:
Saturday 6th April, 1:00pm - Amabile: Lesley Schatzberger (clarinet), Nicola Tait Baxter (cello) & Paul Nicholson (piano)
The Schatzberger players bring the distinctive blend of clarinet, cello and piano to life with the combination of iconic trios by Brahms and Louise Farrenc.
On Thursday 7 (Badajoz) and Friday 8 March (Plasencia), the Orquesta de Extremadura is playing Alexander von Zemlinsky's Symphony in D minor (https://bachtrack.com/concert-event/querido-publico-orquesta-de-extremadura-palacio-de-congresos-de-badajoz-manuel-rojas-7-march-2024/387670) in Badajoz, Spain (along with Beethoven's 2nd Piano Concerto), conducted by Jaume Santonjo. They seem to engage in such relatively adventurous repertoire often; two years ago the orchestra performed Felix Woyrsch' 1st Symphony.
Anyone mention that Foote's cello concerto's being performed next month in Buffalo NY (March 23&24 (https://bachtrack.com/concert-event/schubert-wagner-buffalo-philharmonic-orchestra-kleinhans-music-hall-23-march-2024/392617)) ?
Raff's Autumn Symphony (the 10th) will be performed on a program that also features Louise Farrenc's 3rd Symphony, August 17th at Bard College.

A very recent Concert of rather unsung music [how unsung outside India...? members here might be able to clarify...]
Felix Mendelssohn: String Symphony No. 10 in B minor, MWV N 10
: Piano Concerto in A minor, MWV 02
Franz Schubert : String Quartet No. 14 in D minor "Death and the Maiden", D. 810 [Arr. by Mahler for String Orchestra]

Another one local to me:
Sir Jack Lyons Concert hall, York University, 30Mar2024 at 7.30pm:
Emile Mayer: Overture in D minor
Bruckner: Symphony no.4
Sibelius: Violin concerto
Might be able to get there!
Who are artists involved?
Sorry, it's the York Symphony Orchestra, soloist in the Sibelius is Will Clark. Hope this helps.

Nice! this weekend 4/6 and 4/7 at Bard the Conservatory Orchestra will play Egon Wellesz's early work The Dawn of Spring.
The Philadelphia Orchestra is touring Canada with the Price Symphony #4 April 17-19. And then in Ann Arbor on 4-20.
Hummel's Fantasie for Viola and Orchestra, Op. 94 is being played by the Dartmouth Symphony on May 5. that's the same day that TON at Bard will play Joseph Joachim Variations for Violin and Orchestra, Eugène Ysaÿe Violin Concerto in D minor (U.S. Premiere) and the Enescu Symphony No. 2.
I almost forgot 4-30 and 5-2 in Montreal the OSM is playing Emilie Mayer, Symphony no. 7 .
As editor of the piece it makes me proud to announce that the String Quartet No. 1 in G minor op. 8 by Joseph Haas will be performed for the first time on 4 June in the Bürgerhaus of Pullach, Bavaria. It will be played by the Diogenes-Quartett. Haas composed his op. 8 during his studies with Max Reger. Score and parts were published by Schott Music last year:
https://www.schott-music.com/de/streichquartett-noc609700.html
Congratulations! What's the music like, please?
I see that it dates from 1905 (14 years earlier than his apparently slightly-better-known A major quartet Op.50). Haven't heard either, don't know if the Op.8 has been recorded- , though I see a video recording of the A major quartet and of piano pieces (Op.16) closer in time to the Op.8 quartet on YouTube - and here's an excerpt from his Op.6 bagatelles for piano (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5T2-Cjkm9g).
I also don't see score or parts for free of Op.8 online (which is fair enough; IMSLP tries to block free download outside of regions where the music is in copyright- EU/UK, in this case, since he died in 1960, and the music was first published-- ooh, not until 2023? That explains A LOT...)-- but I do see them for sale, with the first page of each movement visible (https://www.paganino.com/sheet-music/chamber-music/string-quartet/haas-j-streichquartett-op-8-g-moll.html). (-If- - if - it was first performed long enough ago then the 2023 publication date matters less- except in the US where that doesn't matter! - though the date of death of course still extends copyright to 2030-odd in UK/EU nmw.) (A little like the US copyright state of a number of Pejacevic's works which were not published until the 2010s- for example. Edit: I was thinking tangentially of the latter's cello sonata which, however, was actually first published in 1977, so... but there's other music this applies to...)
Thank you, Alan! Haas's Quartet op. 8 is a worthy precursor of his later Quartet op. 50. It shows yet the typical style of the composer, with refined Regerian harmonies, but more playful and light-hearted in character, without Reger's heaviness.
The work remained unpublished and unperformed during the composer's lifetime, but he did never withdraw it. Te manuscript shows that it was first numbered as op. 9, later becoming op. 8. So Haas must have withdrawn another piece, but he kept the string quartet in his official opus list.
Thanks for that summary. Very interesting.
The Bard festival has been mentioned, just wanted to add that Reicha's op. 49 no. 1 string quartet in c minor will be featured on Saturday, August 10, as well as other rare pieces.
The Balourdet Quartet is a shockingly virtuosic young group; I'm so excited!
https://fishercenter.bard.edu/events/bmf24-p2/
Program
1 pm • Preconcert Talk with Jonathan Kregor
1:30 pm • Performance: Jana McIntyre, soprano; Rebecca Ringle Kamarei, mezzo-soprano; Tyler Duncan, baritone; Noël Wan, harp; Michael Stephen Brown and Erika Switzer, piano; Balourdet Quartet; and others
Hector Berlioz (1803–69)
Le montagnard exilé (1822–23)
Songs
Luigi Cherubini (1760–1842)
Etude No. 2 (1804)
Anton Reicha (1770–1836)
String Quartet in C Minor, Op. 49, No. 1 (1803)
Carl Maria von Weber (1786–1826)
Invitation to the Dance, Op. 65 (1819)
Elias Parish Alvars (1808–49)
Introduction and Variations on Themes from Bellini's Norma, Op. 36 (n.d.)
Arias by Jean-François Le Sueur (1760–1837); Gaspare Spontini (1774–1851); Ambroise Thomas (1811–96)
As to the Parish-Alvars, my guess would be that it was written around the time of the opera's premiere, though just offhand I don't see a publication before 1852, after Alvars' death. Will look into it... ah, it was published by Addison & Hodson (see IMSLP) which was active in the mid-1840s (and not, so far as I know?, later??), so it was published before 1852, at least...
Hrm, according to Wikipedia, P-A wasn't published- at least not in Vienna?- until 1836, so there's that, too... not sure about England...
Anyone mentioned tomorrow's Leipzig concert with Reinecke's Hakon Jarl symphony? (Ruth Reinhardt conducting the Gewandhaus.)
This is not unsung -strictly speaking- but very unusual outside of a major metropolitan area (in the US), afaik, but if it's unacceptable, I have no problem with dropping it. Just wanted to note that the Binghamton Philharmonic (upstate/central NY state) is performing a Bruckner symphony (and no.6, yet!) on November 16th. (Fairly near me, this...)
Ilya: in re the Kralik work you mentioned awhile back, I feel like I saw a mention of several soon-to-be-released discs of her music recentlyish (to augment the one or two that now exist), which might include such a work. Can't find it now, though. ???...
Quote from: eschiss1 on Wednesday 12 June 2024, 21:19Anyone mentioned tomorrow's Leipzig concert with Reinecke's Hakon Jarl symphony? (Ruth Reinhardt conducting the Gewandhaus.)
Thanks, Eric. I wonder whether this will be broadcast?
Will have to try to find out. I may have to check afterwards or, at least, I'm not positive how to check-maybe I need to learn how to check the German radio schedules...
Also, looking at the program of the West Cork Festival. Maybe of most interest here so far is a program with clarinet music (including sonatas) by Charles Stanford, John Ireland and others at Bantry House on 2 July 2024. Will continue to check the rest of the program :)...
(Also, I see ewk mentioned the Reinecke performance of tomorrow a year ago in a post in "2023 Unsung concerts"...)
Maybe MDR Kultur , though they aren't broadcasting it tomorrow- will see if I can check later days...
Also, Reinecke's 200th is, so to speak, in 10 days from now, and MDR Kultur is broadcasting a more general Reinecke program (possibly talk rather than music) on Saturday - description thereof? (https://www.mdr.de/mdr-klassik-radio/klassikthemen/komponist-carl-reinecke-gesellschaft-100.html) (any failure of translation is mine, I should have at least run it through some sort of translator, however rough, first :) )
Also in a few days is a Wigmore Hall concert of interesting string trio music from Beethoven to Weinberg (not in our orbit) with Dohnanyi and Enescu being two composers who sometimes are (and specifically, the Enescu Aubade - his representative in this concert- is from 1899, the Dohnanyi is his famous, and just a bit "off" :), serenade for trio). (The one remaining work on the program, Kodaly's 1905 Intermezzo, I haven't heard at all. Actually, not sure I've heard Weinberg's string trio yet either, but I should go fix that...) This concert (https://bachtrack.com/concert-event/stephen-waarts-timothy-ridout-marie-elisabeth-hecker-wigmore-hall-17-june-2024/396837) , 17 June 7:30pm local, should be recommendable enough...
and one more thing :)
October 14 at the Rudolfinum- Dvorak Hall in Prague:
"Smetana, Bedřich (1824-1884) String Quartet no.1 in E minor "From my life"
Taneyev, Sergey Ivanovich (1856-1915) String Quartet no. 2 in C major, Op.5
Dvořák, Antonín (1841-1904) String Quintet no. 3 in E flat major, Op.97"
Talich Quartet and Lawrence Dutton, viola (in the Dvořák).
One other thing: Saturday at Wigmore Hall, Paul Wee plays the Alkan solo piano concerto (https://bachtrack.com/concert-event/paul-wee-piano-wigmore-hall-15-june-2024/396944). (I'd still call this unsung, judging at least from the reaction of the audience next to me after Hamelin performed the piano symphony wonderfully in Ithaca awhile back...)
From Michigan City Chamber Music Festival (https://www.mccmf.org/2024-festival/), for August 12, Berwald's Duo Concertant in A major for 2 violins is programmed. (Never heard this one, though I see it's on YouTube. Seems to be from around 1816.) The August 16th program contains Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's nonet.
Also, several concerts with Pejačević's music in 2024-5. On September 19, her cello sonata is being played in Burg Namedy, Andernach at the Beethovenfest (https://bachtrack.com/concert-event/tanja-tetzlaff-lauma-skride-burg-namedy-19-september-2024/406132). Her piano quartet in D minor (1908) will be at the Wigmore Hall on October 17 (https://bachtrack.com/concert-event/kaleidoscope-chamber-collective-wigmore-hall-17-october-2024/402336).
A concert performance of William Wallace's Grand Legendary Opera Lurline will be given on Friday July 26, at 7PM, at the National Concert Hall, in Dublin.
https://www.nch.ie/all-events-listing/nso-lurline-opera-concert-performance/
The intriguingly named Robert-Kahn-Trio will be playing a concert in Stralsund, Germany, on 13 September, under the title 'Contemporaries of Caspar David Friedrich': the Clarinet Trio by Louise Farrenc being one of the two works on the programme (https://www.klinikumskirche.de/veranstaltungen/).
Ah,the painter. For a moment there,I thought it was that boy who was the early nineteenth-century equivalent of pseudo-Anastasia! Now,that would have added to the quirkiness.
Hrm. Any links attached to those concerts? I'd like to see what the early 2025 concert with some Reger is that's also on that same page Wheesht linked to, even though I'm not likely to be in Germany in January.
The Stralsund programme website is sadly lacking in detail but according to the Vogler-Quartett's website (https://vogler-quartett.de/konzerte/) it is the string quartet op. 109 by Reger that they will be playing. The same link shows two more works by Reger, on 5 April and on 25 May.
Yay!!
Although this concert is now in the very recent past, I am delighted, indeed excited, to see that the Belgian composer Juliette Folville's Concertstück pour violoncelle et orchestre has been programmed in Saint-Irénée, Canada, and will be again in May 2025 in Italy.
Very pleased to say I will be attending a rare concert outing of Charles Stanford's Piano Concerto No.2 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Friday evening, given by the Ulster Orchestra and Irish pianist Finghin Collins. Also included in this concert - part of the BBC Radio 3 Summer Invitation series - is Chausson's symphonic poem Viviane, Op.5.
Other unsung works coming up in Belfast include Erich Korgold's Märchenbilder, Op.3 (August), Busoni's Concertino for Clarinet and Small Orchestra (November), Louise Farrenc's Overture No.2 (January 2025), Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Ballade (February '25), and Arensky's Variations on a Theme By Tchaikovsky (May '25).

Jordi Savall & Le concert des Nations (hopefully not at 18th-century appropriate pitch...!) are performing symphonies by Schubert, Schumann and Bruckner (no.8, G minor, and "Nüllte") in Linz at the Brucknerhaus on September 12th, 7:30 pm. (From the description of the concert:
"In January 1869, shortly after his appointment as professor of harmony and counterpoint at the Conservatory of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, Anton Bruckner began work on a symphony in D minor, which he counted in the autograph as "No 2", which is why its outdated designation as the "zeroth" is not only misleading but simply wrong.")
See Concert description (https://www.brucknerhaus.at/en/programme/events/jordi-savall-le-concert-des-nations-12.09.2024-19-30) (strong implication that the works are being performed with no extra completion beyond the editing they've typically received.)
The Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players Concert Schedule 2024-5 is now up.
First concert of the season, Sept. 9, has Hans Huber's trio (sonata) for 2 violins and piano, Reinecke's wind sextet, Jadassohn's nocturne and Robert Schumann's piano quintet.
The first time ever that an orchestral work by Taneyev is played in the Vienna Konzerthaus, this Saturday: Symphony no. 4. (https://oe1kalender.orf.at/preview/1F58CE5A-755A-4CBE-2213-08DCB08A78CC)
Extraordinary, but a good choice.
I see that other highlights of this year's Jupiter season include, besides Le Beau's piano quartet later this month, Dyck's piano trio of 1910 (Nov. 25), one of Robert Kahn's violin sonatas (on Dec. 16), Thuille's sextet (Feb. 3), Stanford's nonet (Feb. 17), Zarebski's quintet (Apr. 14), Brauer's sextet (Apr. 28), e.g. (which extends into 2025, apologies.)
(Some of these works are their only appearances by their composers that I know of this season, but Thuille's sextet is being performed Nov. 23, Salle Cortôt, Paris, too, with a tone poem by Richard Strauss- whether the sextet is being done in orchestral arrangement or each work is being done in its original garb I know not.)
Not sure this one's been mentioned.
15 December, London Symphony Orch. (https://www.lso.co.uk/whats-on/elgar-and-vaughan-williams-9-15-dec/), Antonio Pappano conducts Bax's Tintagel, Elgar's cello concerto (with David Cohen) and (to start with) VW symphony 9 (not in our remit, but if we're limited to all-Romantic - or even all-Romantic, all-unsung :) - concerts this list will be a lot shorter. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it's a choice :D)
Good to have Tintagel, though. It's one of Bax's most stunning masterpieces.
Hi all,
I've just found out about this https://latemusic.org/looking-for-carl-fruhling/?fbclid=IwY2xjawGI1KBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHQ939-pYv5rojx9dqgz_MJGh7QEiwfvDDvXKIEaaqCHYnN6sJQ63buCKrQ_aem_AoMAYFH4HbA0_Z6WqOniGA
Which is in York next Saturday. Annoyingly, I have a prior engagement so won't be able to go.

On Saturday, 30 November, the Piano Trio in E flat Major by Fritz Kauffmann (whose Symphony in A minor was once nicked by Hans Franke) is to be performed in his hometown of Magdeburg by the MDR Piano Trio. The other work played on the evening is Dvorak's Dumky trio.
More information here (https://www.telemann-konservatorium.de/veranstaltungen/kammermusikabend-mit-dem-mdr-klaviertrio/). Tickets can only be bought at the venue one hour before the performance. Bring cash.
A work by Kauffmann is quite a find. Thanks, Ilja.

I wonder whether cpo will record this...
This seems not to be the case, but it is possible that the performance will be recorded and published on the Monteverdichor's Youtube channel like the Pierné-Zilcher-Woyrsch Christmas concert last year:
