Sep–Dec 2018 Music and Dance OF MUSIC & DANCE TRINITY LABAN CONSERVATOIRE SEP–DEC 2018 WHAT'S ON MUSIC AND DANCE VENUS TRINITYLABAN.AC.UK/WHATSON BLAZ NG BOOKING: 020 8463 0100 WELCOME Welcome to our Autumn Season 2018, where an extraordinary range of performances awaits you. This year we launched Venus Blazing – an unprecedented commitment to celebrating the music of women composers. We’ve pledged to ensure that in our major music performances this year at least half of the music will be by women composers. This autumn, 31 of the 46 works being performed (67%) are by female composers, both historic and contemporary. We also relaunch Blackheath Halls after a major refurbishment, and I know there will be much to delight audiences ahead. Our Symphony Orchestra starts us off with a Side by Side concert of Grace Williams’ Symphony No. 2, and returns to perform Louise Farrenc’s Symphony No. 3 in November. Other highlights of the season include Trinity Laban String Ensemble performing Errollyn Wallen, Grażyna Bacewicz and Edward Elgar; Trinity Laban Chamber Choir performing Imogen Holst, Elizabeth Maconchy and Lili Boulanger and Trinity Laban Chorus, Musical Theatre Show Choir and Old Royal Naval College Trinity Laban Chapel Choir performing extracts from Rebecca Dale’s Mater Requiem. At Laban Theatre, expect a strong dance season, featuring Tara D’Arquian’s intriguing Bad Faith, the dark comedy of Gracefool Collective, Marina Collard’s What This Is, Is..., and the welcome return of Julie Cunningham & Company. Our BA3 students perform commissioned works in a great opportunity to see new dance talent live. We perform at major London music festivals – the Early Music Festival, Brandenburg Choral Festival of London and Spitalfields Music – and present our own new music festival Rude Health, showcasing experimental music and composition at the cutting edge. Last but not least, our Musical Theatre students present Cabaret in December, and we finish the season with our vocal students performing Thea Musgrave’s festive opera A Christmas Carol. I look forward to welcoming you to all our performances.

  • Arts, Boats and Culture at the Old Royal Naval College This September Old Royal Naval College, King William Walk, Greenwich, SE10 9NN
    Arts, boats and culture at the Old Royal Naval College this September Old Royal Naval College, King William Walk, Greenwich, SE10 9NN This September, the Old Royal Naval College will host a month of exciting events in Greenwich, from Open House and London Design Festival to Totally Thames and the finish line of the first ever Regatta London. London Design Festival celebrates London as the design capital of the world, recognising the city’s artistic strengths with artworks installed in multiple London institutions from 14th – 22nd September. Drawing inspiration from the rich artistic history of the Old Royal Naval College itself, local Greenwich artists and makers will showcase their creations across the beautiful riverside grounds and inside Sir Christopher Wren’s iconic buildings. The featured artworks will offer contemporary interpretations of the architectural and decorative elements of the Old Royal Naval College, such as Sir Christopher Wren’s landmark domed design and Sir James Thornhill’s magnificent Painted Hall, recently re-opened after an award-winning renovation. Works include a storytelling chair made from recycled wood in the Victorian Skittle Alley, itself made from upcycled ships, as well as fascinating 3D scans of the Painted Hall, showing the labour and care that went into creating the room in the 18th century, and the 21st century conservation efforts. Visitors will be able to access the London Design Festival in the Old Royal Naval College Visitor Centre during regular opening hours, with additional exhibits for Painted Hall ticketholders. The week will culminate in Open House, London’s largest architectural festival, on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd September which grants visitors access to tour awe-inspiring hidden spaces in the buildings and grounds.

  • European Court Culture & Greenwich Palace, 1500-1750: Queen's House
    European Court Culture & Greenwich Palace, 1500-1750: Queen’s House Conference 2017 Dates: 20-22 April 2017 Location: National Maritime Museum and the Queen’s House, Greenwich Royal Museums Greenwich and the Society for Court Studies are pleased to announce this call for papers, for a major international conference to mark the 400th anniversary year of the Queen’s House, Greenwich. Designed by Inigo Jones in 1616 and completed in 1639, this royal villa is an acknowledged masterpiece of British architecture and the only remaining building of the sixteenth and seventeenth-century palace complex. Today the Queen’s House lies at the centre of the World Heritage Site of Maritime Greenwich, which also includes the Royal Observatory and the Old Royal Naval College (previously Greenwich Hospital). The site as a whole is often celebrated as quintessentially ‘British’ – historically, culturally and artistically. Yet the sequence of queens associated with the Queen’s House and Greenwich more generally reflect a wider orientation towards Europe – from Anne of Denmark, who commissioned the House, to Henrietta Maria of France, Catherine of Braganza and Mary of Modena – in addition to Greenwich’s transformation under the patronage of Tudor and Stuart monarchs. Located on the River Thames at the gateway to London and to England, royal residences at Greenwich served an important function in the early modern period as a cultural link with the continent, and in particular, with England’s nearest neighbours in the Low Countries and France. After major refurbishment, the Queen’s House reopens in October 2016 with new displays that focus on a number of important themes to historians of art, architecture and culture, and strong links to politics, diplomacy, war and royal and maritime culture.
