Since then, the fi ve composers featured on this album have helped to make the fellowship what it is today: a scheme widely admired for the way it supports new music and new dance, and facilitates connections between artists in different fi elds. Mini-residencies and associated projects have also proliferated under Rambert’s fellowship umbrella. Dozens of brilliant ideas have been brought in through the doors of our studios, collided with the people there, and allowed to bubble away. Some of the results have disappeared into the ether, some have had short lives in studio performances, others have been immortalised in established dance works or musical scores and recordings.

The programme was born out of the COVID-19 quarantine, and offered me a chance for both outward discovery and inward reflection. It combines music that’s part of my heritage and that I grew up listening to, as well as music I discovered anew but already felt some intrinsic connection to. My programming decisions were purely instinctive, based on music I am deeply in love with, from the two places I call home. Callum Smart, 2020 3 In The Canterville Ghost, Oscar Wilde quipped that English people “have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, language”, an idea echoed by George Bernard Shaw when he declared that “England and America are two countries separated by the same language”.

Coverage of the National Assembly elections included comprehensive overnight results programmes on BBC One Wales and S4C, and a special Ask The Leader audience programme stripped across a single week on BBC One Wales in the run-up to the election. The excitement of Euro 2016 was reflected across both BBC Wales and network services, with five Wales matches broadcast live on both the BBC and S4C. The quarter-final victory over Belgium produced the largest television audience ever recorded for a Welsh sporting fixture, with a peak audience of 1.27m in Wales. It was also the third- highest TV audience in Wales this century, only exceeded by the 2012 Olympics opening and closing ceremonies.

  • MCT 28 July 2020 Concert E-Programme
    presents HÉLOÏSE WERNER & THE TIPPETT QUARTET WITH THE HERMES EXPERIMENT Join us for our premiere online concert stream 28th July 2020, 7pm at bit.ly/MCTYoutube WELCOME The Michael Cuddigan Trust was set up in 2014 to support the composition and performance of new vocal chamber music. We very much hope that you will be able to join us this year for our first ever online concert presentation celebrating new music and making sure that the show goes on. The concert will feature a repeat performance of 2017 Award recipient Kate Whitley’s ‘Charlotte Mew Settings’ in its entirety, sung by 2018 Award recipient Héloïse Werner and the Tippett Quartet. Héloïse will also perform a small mixed programme with her ensemble the Hermes Experiment, alongside a new commission by the 2020 Award recipient, and Aldeburgh Young Musician, Alfred Hopkins. These are unprecedented and challenging times, with live performance venues closed across the nation, and we are sad not to be able to share the first of this year’s new commissions with you in person. We are however, incredibly lucky to have recorded a performance of the concert from the relative safety of Suffolk, which we are delighted to share with you online. Normally, with the lights half-dimmed, you may be reading these pages to follow the lyrics of the vocal chamber works in our programme, and to learn a little more about the pieces and their composers. We invite you to do the same as we present the concert from our new Michael Cuddigan Trust YouTube channel (bit.ly/MCTYoutube).
