On page 6 you will find details of our Four Seasons autumn concert at the Lancaster Hall Hotel in London. As promised by Malcolm Rivers at our AGM, this will feature young artists of the Mastersingers Company who have staged many of our music events over the last decade. This is very much a “not to be missed” evening. In Christie Cook and Kelvin Lim you will be hearing two of the leading artists of the future. We are very keen for this to be the first of several such concerts but we rely heavily upon strong support at this inaugural event in order to do so. Our members have regularly requested more live events.

  • Friday 5 July, 7.30Pm the Bridgewater Hall
    The Bridgewater Hall Friday 5 July, 7.30pm Chetham’s at fifty 1969 - 2019 chethams.com/50 Welcome from To the audience, thank you all for being here this evening and for your HRH The Earl of Wessex KG GCVO support of Chetham’s. You are a key reason the School is in such fine heart with a splendid new music teaching building and magnificent concert hall. You are also part of the reason the School can face the future Welcome to this evening’s rather with a degree of confidence. However, it is the “thousand” musicians special concert to celebrate gathered on the stage of the Bridgewater Hall that is really what this Chetham’s 50th anniversary. It seems School and the future is all about. a little invidious to single out one of I trust that you will all, whichever part of the Hall you’re in, thoroughly the 50 concerts planned for the year enjoy the evening and the experience is indeed a fitting celebration of 50 but, if it had to be one, than Mahler’s remarkable years. 8th symphony is a worthy candidate. As one of the largest-scale choral works in the classical concert repertoire it is quite an undertaking by anyone, let alone a school. Huge credit must go to all involved, both students and staff, for showing such élan in performing the “Symphony of a Thousand”. HRH The Earl of Wessex KG GCVO Patron of Chetham’s School of Music I think it says a great deal about the staff that they have such confidence in their students and much of that esprit must rest with Stephen Threlfall who has been Director of Music since 1995.

He was born into a privileged, well-connected and intellectual Jewish family, but was not brought up in that faith and was baptised as a Christian at the age of seven. His parents recognised that he was a child prodigy, and encouraged rather than exploited his talents. He had piano lessons in Paris with Marie Bigot, whose playing had been admired by Haydn and Beethoven.
