    To: Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London New London Plan GLA City Hall London Plan Team Post Point 18 London SE1 2AA We welcome the opportunity to comment on the New London Plan and would be grateful if you could confirm receipt of this reponse. About us: The World’s First Planned Cultural Quarter Shared history and mission The Exhibition Road Cultural Group is a partnership of 18 leading cultural and educational organisations in and around Exhibition Road, South Kensington. Together these organisations comprise the world’s first planned cultural quarter, half of which falls within the Knightsbridge Neighbourhood Area. Created from the legacy of the Great Exhibition of 1851, and affectionately known as “Albertopolis”, this cultural quarter was established by the Royal Commission for the Great Exhibition of 1851 for the purpose of “increasing the means of industrial education and extending the influence of science and art upon productive industry”. Across its estate of 87 acres in South Kensington, the Royal Commission established three of the world’s most popular museums: The Natural History Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Science Museum and three colleges dedicated to arts, science and design: Imperial College London, the Royal College of Music and Royal College of Art and the most famous concert venue in the world, the Grade l listed Royal Albert Hall which was created originally as the Central Hall of Arts and Sciences. Over past century and a half, these institutions have been joined by other organisations that share the mission of promoting innovation and learning through the arts and science, including the Goethe Institut, Royal Geographical Society, Institute Français and the Ismaili Centre.

  • Founder's Day Festival
    The International Music School founded by Yehudi Menuhin www.yehudimenuhinschool.co.uk — Registered Charity 312010 — Newsletter 61 — Summer 2015 Angela Stockbridge — Robert Masters Memorial Concert Founder’s Day This time last year Malcolm Singer Director of Music wrote in these pages that “It is extraordinary that Robert should have died on Lord Menuhin’s birthday as the two men worked so closely Festival together for so many years”. This year’s Founder’s Day concert was given in memory to Robert Masters and was a particularly special and moving occasion. Two of the performers, Jamie Walton a close associate of Robert and Niall (Ted) Brown (1979), reflected on the day. Jamie said that the Memorial Concert “was a particularly poignant day, held together by great camaraderie and life-affirming music making, just as it should be. That’s what I call a successful school! I know it meant the world to Noël – and miraculous that she could be there.” Niall concurs, adding that the concert was a “wonderful tribute to Robert Masters and a testament to the present health of the School that the students added to the very positive atmosphere both during and after the concert.” In the days leading up to the concert, students and Friends were given a special treat of two lectures. Damian leGassick, Head of Academic Music, spoke on the life and work of Scriabin and Boris Kucharsky, violin teacher, discussed Lord Menuhin’s recordings of Bach, playing recordings and illustrating the finer points with his own playing. Boris developed his lecture from notes made by Robert Masters, a lecture that was never given in his lifetime.
