CONTEMPORALE
Shanghai Symphony Orchestra
Curated by Split Works
Presents: Lambchop
“It’s sublime.” – Guardian review of Lambchop’s latest album, Mr. M.
“Ethereal, melancholy, and just plain strange” – Rolling Stone review of Mr. M.
Contemporale’s sixth and final performance for the 2015-2016 season sees a truly unique performance from one of America’s most quirky bands – Lambchop. Following on from Damien Rice’s brilliant Contemporale performance in the larger Symphony Hall, Lambchop will bring their provocative country blues to Shanghai on May 19. Audience members will be transported by the band’s rich visual imagination in the Chamber Hall’s intimate setting.
It’s been nearly two decades since Lambchop released its first album, at the time pronouncing itself Nashville’s most twisted country band. Provocative it may have been, but the description made sense: at the heart of all that ruckus was a band at once defying and embracing the musical legacy of its hometown. Since then, Lambchop has evolved into an accomplished ensemble, adding palpable depth and substance to singer-songwriter-guitarist Kurt Wagner’s songs—and the band sounds as commanding as ever on its 11th album, Mr. M, a collection of meditations on love and loss and the detritus of everyday existence.
Lambchop may not sound in any conventional way like a country band (even the steel guitar, once prominent, is long gone from the band’s lineup), and yet the essential spirit of country music—the sound of someone just trying to make sense of life’s little ups and downs—remains present in its music.
Split Works along with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra looks forward to sharing this, the last of six performances for the 2015-2016 Contemporale season, with its audience.

About Contemporale
The Contemporale series began in the autumn of 2014 as a collaboration between the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and Split Works and hosts exciting contemporary musical acts in a classical music environment, at the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra’s new home in downtown Shanghai.
The 2014-15 season saw piano, guitar and strings from the Ukraine (Lubomyr Melnyk), Canada (Moonface) and the US (Bill Callahan). With fully sold out Chamber Halls across the season, Contemporale has expanded its programme for the 2015-16 season, taking in twice the number of artists and including performances in the 1,200 seat Concert Hall.

上海交响乐团和Split Works开功 联合呈现
CONTEMPORALE当代变奏系列演出 2015-2016
美国另类乡摇传奇乐团Lambchop
“真是一张令人叹为观止的伟大专辑！” ——英国《卫报》
2015年秋冬之季，由上海交响乐团与Split Works开功联合呈现，共同带来新一季的 “当代变奏”演出系列，将世界独立音乐人的独特声音带到庄严恢宏的音乐厅，让特立独行的当代流行与古典音乐碰撞出美丽的火花！2016年6月19日，“当代变奏”系列将举办第六场也是最后一场演出，Kurt Wagner将带领成军30年的美国另类乡摇传奇乐团Lambchop，为观众带来真正独一无二的表演。
距离Lambchop发布第一张专辑已经过去了二十年，当时他们自称是“纳什维亚最扭曲的乡村乐队”。这听起来很挑衅， 但这个形容的确有些道理：他们在拥抱家乡音乐遗产的同时对其反抗和背离，引发了纷纷争议。从那以后，Lambchop逐步发展成技艺超群的杰出乐团，将灵魂人物Kurt Wagner的作曲演绎出显见的深度和主旨。Kurt Wagner在乐队中身兼数职，包括主唱、作曲、吉他手等，在第十一张专辑出版后，他们逐渐名声显赫。新专辑《Mr. M》就是这样一张对于过往爱与失去以及日常生活碎片的冥想与思考。
虽然Lambchop的音乐和其他常规的乡村乐队并不相同（即便是最重要的钢弦吉他，也早已被乐队摒弃），但乡村音乐的核心精神——用音乐表达生活中细微的起伏——仍然存留在他们的音乐之中。
这组老牌劲旅将为2015-2016“当代变奏”系列演出画上一个完整的句号。感谢上海交响乐团的远见，让当代流行的独立音乐响彻典雅的音乐厅。让我们在第二季“CONTEMPORALE当代变奏”的演出上见！
