I received the news through Whatsapp this morning at work! Good news the Barts room has a capacity for 900 people seated or 1500 combined seating and standing. Also a new promoter for Spain "Madness Live" much more professional than the previous "RM"...

"The performance is in a quasi-operatic structure"
Anyone have any idea what this exactly means ?

My brain hurts thinking of it
Mind you I know that Ian Anderson Mozart wrote 'The Magic Flute' if that helps.

Well "quasi" is defined as "being partly or almost"
If you google "quasi opera" it throws up suggestions like "almost an opera or something between a musical an an opera"
Interestingly it also says "What is an operatic- tenor?"
" A quasi-operatic tenor is the type a pitch that a singer can reach when singing."
I'm more confused about the time scale of Mr Tull (agri man) in the almost present.
I was intrigued before HE came out too and subsequently thought that it's time travel theme was a bit haphazard, wonder if this one will be the same?

The good doctor goes back in time to rescue Jethro and bring him back to the present day where he can really enjoy the fruits of his labour, bask in the fame and notoriety of his invention and grab a coffee at Starbucks ?

The musician commented a few months ago this idea where we can see the biography of the above thanks to Tull songs that have been adapted for the occasion. Classics of the band with "minor changes" and an audiovisual production of interesting invoice will accompany the current band musicians Ian Anderson. The great Florian Opahle on guitar, David Goodier on bass, John O'Hara on keyboards, Scott Hammond on drums and itself Ian on guitar, voice and flute again conquer in November. The dates and ticket prices, go on sale on April 10, concerts are: Friday, November 20, 19:00 hrs. Theatre Barts (Barcelona). Price: 40 € / 50 € / 60 € (depending on area).

Kantorei Barmen Gemarke prepares for concert with Ian Anderson TULL Link
Wuppertal: "We have just sung the St. John Passion, now comes Locomotive Breath - very different of course, but just as honest, non-positive and witty, "says the musician and professor Wolfgang Kläsener. For ten weeks, he rehearses with the Kantorei Barmen Gemarke for the concerts with the British rock legend Ian Anderson in the town hall.
Mr. Kläsener how many of your singers will take you to the concert?
Wolfgang Kläsener: Kantorei Barmen-Gemarke LINK All - almost 60. If already an international star comes as Ian Anderson to Wuppertal and a world premiere occurs with a large choir, then should with all. With symphony orchestras he has already experience.
Have you heard the music of Ian Anderson and his band Jethro Tull as a teenager?
Kläsener: The often ran with my older brothers. I have noticed in passing, because back then I am more concerned with classical music. But I can only say that if Ian Anderson made as in his piece "Bourrée" Bach sounds, that's great and very intelligent.
How choir and vocal rock band come together?
Choral addition. The three concerts by Ian Anderson, his band, the Symphony Orchestra and the choir of Barmen Gemarke on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the town hall are sold out for months.
The choir sings at concerts Barmen Gemarke five songs specially composed voices added: "Locomotive Breath" Bourrée "," My God "and" Life's a long song ".
On "Aqualung" you have to wait until added.
Kläsener: The chorus gets special treatment because he supports the solo singing. We sing in four parts - a voice sings the melody, the other three have been added to the composition, thus resulting in a full choral sound. The musical substance is the same as before, but the sound is extended.
Is the rock rhythm for the choir arg unusual?
Kläsener: Bach also has a difficult rhythm; the juxtaposition of soft melodies and hard sounds, there are also others.
What is different, for example, in the St. John Passion?
Kläsener: The singer must be flexible because they only now meet Ian Anderson's musical director John O'Hara on Wednesday. Since they must be able to react to everything he possibly want. But work with another conductor is sometimes good, keep it fresh.
As has been the contact with John O'Hara?
Kläsener: We have clarified in a polite email change every detail matters. Such as how the volume ratios and whether the bass actually have sung so deep. He'll work only with all partners individually, then together.
Initially, it was not clear where the choir is standing in the city hall and the sound is right. How is the issue resolved?
Kläsener: The whole is now but electronically amplified because the band is incredibly loud. Each two singers share a microphone. Even so we can provide to us on the beautiful choir-loft - when there are microphones, it does not matter where the choir stands.
The tickets cost between 55 and almost 100 euros, the city hall is sold out three nights. Get some on the revenue?
Kläsener: We get a place. But this is straightforward, since we have only a manageable part.

www.wz-newsline.de/So gut klingt Wupper-TullVon Anne Grages Ian Anderson spielt in der Stadthalle mit dem Sinfonieorchester und der Kantorei Barmen-Gemarke. [Translated by google] So it sounds good Wupper TullBy Anne Grages Ian Anderson plays in the town hall with the Symphonic Orchestra and the choir of Barmen-Gemarke. www.wz-newsline.de/lokales/wuppertal/kultur/so-gut-klingt-wupper-tull-1.1908692Wuppertal. "Living in the Past"? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that. Although Ian Anderson comes with this old hit his band Jethro Tull on stage rocking fresh drauflos. The singer, composer and lyricist, who never had flute lessons, leaves no doubt as to who holds the city hall, the musical reins in his hand. 120 black-clad musicians gathered behind him and his four-piece band - on top of the choir loft Barmen-Gemarke with their note books, below the symphony orchestra in something smaller ensembles. But they have to wait. Anderson plays two songs from the album "Homo Erraticus" 2014, "before we invite the orchestra to play with us." As ever typed the 67-year-old with the left heel on the right kneecap the clock, makes his flute cheer and warble, coo and growl, the small acoustic guitar with the hard sound has always at hand. After the high vocal tones, the Briton has quite stretch, but the timbre and the individual breathing technique remain distinctive. But Anderson would not have to warm up the audience. In the town hall a slightly graying audience of anticipation is gathered in large Wupper Tull hard. Bap musician Wolfgang Niedecken Although patron of the event, but can not come yet. As a representative one has hired Alan Bangs, once cult presenter at WDR Rockpalast and -Hörfunk as moderator. Nice to see him again, but these boots four-minute presentation you do not need so desperately. The Flute duet sounds heartbreakingly beautifulWith "Cheap Day return" the orchestra has its first use. Anderas Heimann (oboe) and Andreas Bassler (bassoon) playing with Anderson on the stage, look skeptical, but it sounds really good in the end. Also, the flutist Uta left is before her duet with rock colleagues obviously not very well, but "Griminelli's Lament" is heartbreakingly beautiful. If pop is mixed with classical music, the result is often a stiff, sweet bombast. Not here. Although the symphonic strings provide rich sonority, make the pop songs but their mobility and freshness - where Anderson's works anyway have a penchant for opulence. The interaction works harmoniously throughout, from the old staple Blues "Wond'ring Aloud" about "Too Old To Rock And Roll" (ironically, already in 1977) to the branching musical classics "Thick as a Brick" and "Aqualung". In between, shredded Ian Anderson's German band member Florian Opahle to the cheers of the audience on his electric guitar Bach's D minor Toccata. The choir is poorly controlled and difficult to hearA little fall behind the Kantorei Barmen-Gemarke whose involvement has helped the concerts but only to the label "world premiere". Finally, there are Anderson's first performances with large choir. But first, his keyboardist John O'Hara has the added composed choral phrases of five common songs created a little basic - with Procol Harum listened to the two years prior to complex and dynamic. And secondly, the choir, which has been reinforced by a number of guest vocalists, at least on Friday poorly controlled and often only weakly to hear. Overall, the sound is great but - you can swim in the music without ignites the ear canal. After "Locomotive Breath" as narrowly addition of these magnificent evening resonates so invariably pleasant after.

I was excited to hear there were several weeks prep time for these concerts and not a day or two as has been the case, I believe, in the past for orchestral concerts. Sounds like improvements could be made withe the mix of the choir voices. I hope someone is sending us some you tubes of the event! Now, here's the best mix of choir and rock Ive ever heard, and I'm not a huge fan of Stairway to Heaven since the 70's: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xufuZ0dCmLA

www.wuppertaler-rundschau.de/"Drrrying in the cold sun"12. April 2015 Ian Anderson (vorn) und sein Pianist und Arrangeur John O’Hara inmitten des Wuppertaler Sinfonieorchesters. Es ist der Höhepunkt im Stadthallen-Kalender dieses Jahres: Die "Wuppertal-Concerts" von Jethro Tull mit Rock-Legende Ian Anderson und dem Wuppertaler Sinfonieorchester mit Oboist Andreas Heimann und Andreas Baßler am Fagott sowie der Kantorei Barmen-Gemarke. Alle drei Konzerte an diesem Wochenende sind ausverkauft. Ian Anderson und seine Band Jethro Tull sind ein "Urgestein" der Progressive-Rock-Szene. Mit Symphonieorchestern haben die Engländer schon häufig musiziert, mit einem Konzertchor noch nie. Rundschau-Redaktionsmitglied Hendrik Walder ist als Gastsänger der Kantorei Barmen-Gemarke dabei. Dienstagabend 21 Uhr: John O'Hara ist eben in Düsseldorf gelandet, aber er würde unheimlich gerne noch zur parallel laufenden Chroprobe kommen. Um kurz nach zehn hört er zum ersten Mal seine Arrangements, die er in den vergangenen Monaten für das Konzert in Wuppertal geschrieben hat. Der Keyboarder von Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson wirkt zufrieden, vielleicht sogar mehr als das, als die Kantorei "Life's a long song" anstimmt. Wobei diese Aussage auch ein Johann Sebastian Bach hätte unterschreiben können, dessen Werke sonst zum Standardrepertoire des Chores gehören. Doch hier wie da kommt es auf die klare Aussprache an: O'Hara moniert, er möchte mehr "k", "p", "d" oder überraschenderweise auch "r" hören. Und das bei englischen Texten! Drrrying in the cold sun (rock'n')rollen die Sänger... Donnerstagabend: Generalprobe, nun auch mit der Querflöten-Legende Ian Anderson. Der Meister überlässt seinem Pianisten den musikalischen Ablauf, hört abwechselnd ruhig zu, singt oder spielt Gitarre und Flöte – auf seine unnachahmliche Weise, indem er singend und swingend in das Mundstück pustet. Doch während der Probe ist er wie alle Beteiligten äußerst fokussiert, wie heutige Fußballtrainer sagen würden. Mit sparsamer Mimik verfolgt er das orchestrale und chorische Geschehen hinter sich, derweil sein Mann am Pult sich ins Zeug schmeißt, als wolle er sich für die Kamioka-Nachfolge empfehlen. Und komponieren kann er auch noch: Der Fiesling "Aqualung" klingt in der Orchester-Fassung, als sei er soeben Mussorgskys "Bildern einer Ausstellung" entsprungen. Die drei "Wuppertal Concerts" sind Weltpremieren. Zum ersten Mal musiziert Jethro Tull nicht nur mit Orchester, sondern auch mit einem Chor. Das gilt auch für die "Do,do,do-" und "Bah,bah,bah"-Stellen im Klassiker "My God". "It really sounds like the Record-Version", lobt O'Hara den Chor. Und fügt schmunzelnd hinzu, damals hätte ein Synthesizer den Part übernommen ... Quelle: Rundschau Verlagsgesellschaft
It is the highlight of the city hall calendar this year: the "Wuppertal-Concerts" by Jethro Tull with rock legend Ian Anderson and the Wuppertal Symphony Orchestra oboist with Andreas and Andreas Heimann Baßler the bassoon and the cantor Barmen-Gemarke. All three concerts this weekend are sold out. Ian Anderson and his band Jethro Tull are a "veteran" of the progressive rock scene. With symphony orchestras, the English have often makes music with a choir concert ever. Rundschau editorial board Hendrik Walder is a guest singer of the Kantorei Barmen-Gemarke. Tuesday night 21 clock: John O'Hara has just landed in Dusseldorf, but he would really like to come to parallel Chroprobe. Shortly after ten he hears for the first time his arrangements, he has written in the past few months for the concert in Wuppertal. The keyboardist of Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson looks happy, perhaps even more than that, as the choir "Life's a long song" intones. And this statement also Johann Sebastian Bach could sign, whose work otherwise belong to the standard repertoire of the choir. But here, as there, it depends on the clear pronunciation: O'Hara complained that it would like to hear more "k", "p", "d" or, surprisingly, "r". And with English lyrics! Drrrying in the cold sun (rock'n ') roll the singer ... Thursday night: rehearsal, now with the flute legend Ian Anderson. The Master leaves his pianist's musical sequence, listen alternately quiet, sings or plays guitar and flute - in his inimitable way, by singing and swinging blows into the mouthpiece. But during the trial he is like everyone extremely focused, as today's football coach would say. With economical facial expressions he pursues the orchestral and choral events behind him, meanwhile, throws his man at the desk steam ahead, as he would recommend for the Kamioka successor. And it can also compose: The bad guy "Aqualung" sounds in the orchestral version, as he had just sprung from Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition". The three "Wuppertal Concerts" are world premieres. For the first time Jethro Tull making music not only with the orchestra, but also with a choir. This also applies to the "Do, do, do," and -Set "Bah, bah, bah" in the classic "My God". "It really sounds like the record version," O'Hara praises the choir. And adds with a smile, then a synthesizer had taken the part ... Source: Rundschau Publishing Company www.wuppertaler-rundschau.de/lokales/drrrying-in-the-cold-sun-aid-1.5008535
