Royal Hospital School Welcome to at the Music
September 2019 – June 2020 music at the royal hospital school welcome to music the at Music at RHS hospital school royal It is my pleasure to share this year’s RHS music programme which again reflects the ambition and talent of our Music Department and pupils. For those who have experienced a chapel service at RHS or witnessed the School’s marching band on Divisions, you will have some appreciation of how important music is to the pupils and to the key events in the school year. The positive benefits of music are well-documented - 2019 from improving well-being and bolstering the immune system, to developing co-ordination. For many of our / pupils it is a valuable counterbalance to the pressures 20 of work and a chance to build friendships through the collaborative nature of making music. This year the programme looks as rich as it is broad, providing opportunities not only for members of the School but also for wider participation. Highlights this year include the welcome return of the award-winning singer Matt Ford, to sing with the Chris Ingham Trio and the RHS Big Band. The joint concert with the British Army Band and the RHS Concert Band in February should also raise the roof! There is also a performance of Verdi’s Requiem with the RHS Chapel Choir, Holbrook Choral Society and the Ipswich Choral Society. Later in the year we present a semi-staged performance of one of the greatest English operas ever written, Dido and Aeneas; and an afternoon of fun and laughter with our annual Come and Sing event, featuring songs from a number of Disney classics. -

But following this anniversary there is some sad news, with the recent passing of our President, Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon. Her energy, commitment and enthusiasm from the outset and throughout the evolution of the Festival have been fundamental to its success. The Duchess of Kent and I have seen the Festival grow from humble beginnings to an internationally renowned arts festival, having faced and overcome many obstacles along the way. Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon, can be justly proud of the Festival’s achievements. Her legacy must surely be a Festival that continues to flourish as we embark on the next forty years. www.newburyspringfestival.org.uk 1 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 2 Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon MBE Founder and President 1935 - 2019 2 box office 0845 5218 218 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 3 The Festival’s founder and president, Jeanie Countess of Carnarvon was a great and much loved lady who we will always remember for her inspirational support of Newbury Spring Festival and her gentle and gracious presence at so many events over the years. Her son Lord Carnarvon pays tribute to her with the following words. My darling mother’s lifelong interest in the arts and music started in her childhood in the USA. -

Operaharmony
#OPERAHARMONY CREATING OPERAS IN ISOLATION 1 3 WELCOME TO #OPERA HARMONY FROM FOUNDER – ELLA MARCHMENT Welcome to #OperaHarmony. #Opera Harmony is a collection of opera makers from across the world who, during this time of crisis, formed an online community to create new operas. I started this initiative when the show that I was rehearsing at Dutch National Opera was cancelled because of the lockdown. Using social media and online platforms I invited colleagues worldwide to join me in the immense technical and logistical challenge of creating new works online. I set the themes of ‘distance’ and ‘community’, organised artist teams, and since March have been overseeing the creation of twenty new operas. All the artists involved in #OperaHarmony are highly skilled professionals who typically apply their talents in creating live theatre performances. Through this project, they have had to adapt to working in a new medium, as well as embracing new technologies and novel ways of creating, producing, and sharing work. #OperaHarmony’s goal was to bring people together in ways that were unimaginable prior to Covid-19. Over 100 artists from all the opera disciplines have collaborated to write, stage, record, and produce the new operas. The pieces encapsulate an incredibly dark period for the arts, and they are a symbol of the unstoppable determination, and community that exists to perform and continue to create operatic works. This has been my saving grace throughout lockdown, and it has given all involved a sense of purpose. When we started building these works we had no idea how they would eventually be realised, and it is with great thanks that we acknowledge the support of Opera Vision in helping to both distribute and disseminate these pieces, and also for establishing a means in which audiences can be invited into the heart of the process too . -
