The latest date for submissions for the August issue is 25 June 2016. Ernie Kay Some of you will already know that one of the compilers of previous issues of The Elgar Society News, Ernie Kay, is suffering from a non–reversible serious illness. He has had to move to a new address which is Perrins House, Moorlands Road, Malvern, WR14 2TZ but his telephone number, 01684 567917, remains the same. For this reason, Ernie can no longer play an active role in compiling the News. We are delighted to report, however, that he is willing to contribute his expertise (as can be seen below) to this and future issues. We wish him well as we are sure you will all do. Keep in touch Remember: you can keep up to date with the latest Elgarian news online at Facebook: www.facebook.com Twitter: www.twitter.com London Branch Account: https://twitter.com/ElgarLondon YouTube: www.youtube.com or, search for ‘Elgar’ or ‘Elgar Society’ or ‘Elgar Birthplace’. 2 Elgar Society News Letter from the Chairman Dear Friends Welcome to the annual special edition that includes the yearly accounts and the Trustees’ annual report, with its reports on the whole range of our work. Last year at this time I wrote, ‘I really ought to complete the set [of Branch visits] with a trip to the Southern Branch’, and I am delighted to tell you I shall see our friends in the south in May, following another enjoyable visit to the Scottish Branch in March. In the following pages are details on both the Birthday Weekend in June (which coincides with the Queen’s 90th birthday celebration) and the Elgar Day at the Three Choirs Festival in Gloucester in July. I look forward very much to seeing as many of you as possible at these enormously enjoyable events. The two areas of endeavour on which we are making progress are our recordings and our German initiative. On the first, we are at an advanced stage of negotiation over the remaining five recordings we believe we need to complete a full discography of recordings of Elgar’s lesser appreciated works. More details will emerge as the year progresses. On the back of enthusiastic colleagues in Germany coupled with advocacy and practical help from the Executive Committee, the Elgar Family Charity Trust and Elgar Works, we are enabling and assisting increasing numbers of choral concerts in Germany, and over the next few years you will read about more performances in the Elgar in Performance section of the TAR. I recently heard reports from Ann Vernau, John Norris and Barry Collett about the superb performance of Scenes from the Saga of King Olaf in Herford, North Rhine–Westphalia, and regretted very much not being present then. However, I was lucky enough to attend in February an overwhelming performance of The Dream of Gerontius, given by the Kurrende choir under Benedikt Brändle in the ancient and lovely university town of Tübingen in Baden– Württemberg. From the moment my wife and I arrived at Stuttgart Airport, where we were met by Wolfgang Werner, we were treated with exemplary kindness and friendship. I witnessed the start of the choral rehearsal on Friday evening, one of the two afternoon rehearsals with soloists and orchestra on Saturday and Sunday No. 58 – April 2016 3 Letter from the Chairman culminating in what I described to my German friends as ‘a wonderful performance and an unforgettable experience’. Soloists, choir and orchestra were equally superb and I shall cherish for a long time the extended silence that followed the last chord and then the increasingly enthusiastic applause that brought a deserved standing ovation. Clearly, just as at the beginning of the last century, Elgar’s music is in excellent and sympathetic hands in Germany! The Kurrende Choir, Tübingen [Photograph: Steven Halls] Elgar Society News: the future When in April 2013 we heard that the editor of the Elgar Society News was retiring with immediate effect, we at the West Midlands Branch Committee discussed the likelihood of the Society losing its main channel of communication with the membership. Once gone it would not be easy to effect a comeback! It was agreed that, on behalf of the Branch, Richard and myself would provide a stopgap for one year and three editions. A further aim during this period was to set a clear brief for the next permanent editor covering content, print and cover standards and the distinctive roles of the Journal and News. 4 Elgar Society News Elgar Society News: the future Now with the invaluable addition of Peter James to our team, we have completed eight editions and achieved many of our aims. In any case we have had more bouquets than brickbats! It was always my personal aim to retire from the scene though, in a non–executive role, my advice will of course be still available to Richard and Peter as long as useful. Ambitions for the News for the future? Use of colour or improvement of black and white photographs in the printed version. While acknowledging the digital age and on–line publishing, I have the old fashioned love of printed archives on my bookshelf. Personal thanks to my co–workers and all the many contributors for their help. Ernie Kay Nomination for Secretary I will be standing down as Secretary at the AGM on 11 June 2016, after ten years in the post. The Secretary’s main responsibilities are: to fix Executive, Council and Branch Chairmen’s meetings; to prepare agendas for those meetings, in consultation with the Chairmen of those committees; to take the minutes of those meetings and circulate them; and to fix the AGM and oversee arrangements for the Birthday Weekend. As Secretary I have also had the pleasure and privilege of presenting the Elgar Medal as well as making the arrangements for presentations. Nominations for the office of Secretary shall be made in writing, signed by a proposer and seconder (who must be members of the Society) and by the candidate signifying willingness to stand; and should be received by the Honorary Secretary by 16 April 2016. Should there be more than one valid nomination a postal ballot of the members of the Society shall be held, the results of which shall be declared at the Annual General Meeting. Ballot papers shall be distributed to members not later than twenty–eight days before the Annual General Meeting and shall be received by the No. 58 – April 2016 5 Nomination for Secretary Honorary Secretary not later than seven days before the Annual General Meeting. Ballot papers shall be subject to the scrutiny of two members of the Society. If you consider that you have the necessary qualifications to act as Secretary of the Society you are invited to contact the Hon. Secretary. All the other officers offer themselves for re–election. Helen Petchey Elgar Society AGM and Birthday Weekend 11–12 June 2016 If you are a new member or haven’t been to a Birthday Weekend before, please do consider coming. It’s good to meet other members. I have made many friends over the years whom I look forward to seeing each year in Worcester. At 7.30 pm on Friday 10 June, John Harcup will be talking about ‘Elgar in Malvern and on the road to fame’ at Eden Church, Grovewood Road (off Townsend Way), Malvern, WR14 1GD (next to Malvern Spa). This is a meeting of the Malvern Civic Society, but Elgar Society members are most welcome. On Saturday 11 June members will be able to meet for coffee at Birchwood from 10.30am. Our thanks to Eileen and Mike Vockins for opening their home to us. Members always enjoy visiting the house where Elgar composed The Dream of Gerontius. To find Birchwood take the A4103 from Worcester. There is a signed right turn 2 miles beyond Leigh Sinton. The house is on the right one mile on. The postcode is WR13 5RZ. The AGM will be at 2pm on Saturday 11 June in the hall of St George’s Catholic Church (See AGM notice). NB Choral Evensong will be at 5.30pm on Saturday at Worcester Cathedral, which will be followed by the traditional laying of a chaplet beneath the Elgar memorial window. This is because Evensong on Sunday will be celebrating the 90th birthday of Her Majesty the Queen, with a multitude of guests. Although 6 Elgar Society News Society AGM and Birthday Weekend there will almost certainly be some of Elgar’s music at the Sunday service, the Dean felt that there could be more focus on Elgar, and the Society, at the Saturday service, at which the Cathedral Choir will be singing.

  • The English Concert – Biography

    The English Concert – Biography

    The English Concert – Biography The English Concert is one of Europe’s leading chamber orchestras specialising in historically informed performance. Created by Trevor Pinnock in 1973, the orchestra appointed Harry Bicket as its Artistic Director in 2007. Bicket is renowned for his work with singers and vocal collaborators, including in recent seasons Lucy Crowe, Elizabeth Watts, Sarah Connolly, Joyce DiDonato, Alice Coote and Iestyn Davies. The English Concert has a wide touring brief and the 2014-15 season will see them appear both across the UK and abroad. Recent highlights include European and US tours with Alice Coote, Joyce DiDonato, David Daniels and Andreas Scholl as well as the orchestra’s first tour to mainland China. Harry Bicket directed The English Concert and Choir in Bach’s Mass in B Minor at the 2012 Leipzig Bachfest and later that year at the BBC proms, a performance that was televised for BBC4. Following the success of Handel’s Radamisto in New York 2013, Carnegie Hall has commissioned one Handel opera each season from The English Concert. Theodora followed in early 2014, which toured West Coast of the USA as well as the Théâtre des Champs Elysées Paris and the Barbican London followed by a critically acclaimed tour of Alcina in October 2014. Future seasons will see performances of Handel’s Hercules and Orlando. The English Concert’s discography includes more than 100 recordings with Trevor Pinnock for Deutsche Grammophon Archiv, and a series of critically acclaimed CDs for Harmonia Mundi with violinist Andrew Manze. Recordings with Harry Bicket have been widely praised, including Lucy Crowe’s debut solo recital, Il caro Sassone.

Widely acknowledged as one of the greatest trumpeters of her generation, Alison Balsom has established a multi- faceted career as an in-demand soloist on the international concert stage, a passionate educator and spokesperson for music education and a curator; including her recent successful tenure as Artistic Director of the 75th Cheltenham Music Festival in 2019. Royal Fireworks marks the continuation of Balsom’s long-term partnership with Warner Classics, being her thirteenth solo release for the label and her first since 2016’s Jubilo. In addition to the birth of her second child and marriage to the film and theatre director Sam Mendes, in the intervening years, Alison Balsom has maintained her performing career and developed, conceived and implemented her vision as Artistic Director of an international festival. This all-Baroque album sees Balsom perform on the natural (valveless) trumpet and features concertos and orchestral masterpieces by Handel, JS Bach, Telemann and Purcell. A pioneer of adapting works written for other solo instruments, Balsom is committed to demonstrating the versatility of the trumpet and Royal Fireworks features three new orchestrations by arranger Simon Wright. Baroque repertoire and the natural trumpet are long-held passions for Alison Balsom.
