I hope that this will be an occasion that you will remember with pleasure and pride. Whilst the format of this live event has changed because of the pandemic, I must pay special tribute to supporters, family and friends who may be joining us online; your contribution is also worthy of celebration. I have been astonished by the resourcefulness and resilience of the RCM community over the past eighteen months, and I hope that each of you has managed to sustain a spirit of optimism. It has never been more important for each RCM graduate to take particular responsibility to be a passionate advocate for music. Wherever your career takes you, I want you to be inspired by what you have learned and experienced here. Music can change the way we see the world and it can influence how we behave. Therefore, for musicians, although the responsibility is great, the possibilities are thrilling and the rewards infinite, even in challenging times. However the world may change post-Covid, membership of the RCM is surely a matter of pride and a badge of high-level endeavor and achievement. It is a pleasure to report that, for the sixth year in a row, the Royal College of Music has been named the top institution for Performing Arts in the United Kingdom in the 2021 QS World University Rankings. Over the past four years we have taken the opportunity to transform both our facilities and the life and work of the Royal College of Music for many decades to come; in doing so, we have virtually doubled the RCM footprint. At the same time, we have explicitly articulated a vision to embrace the ideals of an open and just society, supporting students from diverse social, economic and ethnic backgrounds, as an agent for positive and meaningful cultural change. Those graduating today join generations of gifted students who have forged their creative careers at the RCM. This list includes some of the most distinguished figures in British music, including a number of current members of staff. Naturally, membership of the College does not cease at graduation – and the RCM network will stand you in good stead throughout your career. Please keep in touch and remember to mention the RCM in your biographies. We will look back with pleasure on the ways in which you have contributed to the life of the College during your student days here, and we hope that you will want to do the same. Certainly your graduation year of 2021 is one that none of us will ever forget.

    CRYSTAL CLEAR: A PERFORMANCE GUIDE AND ELECTRONIC ACCOMPANIMENT OF MARIO LAVISTA’S MARSIAS FOR OBOE AND CRYSTAL GLASSES Jonathan Ryan Thompson, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2019 APPROVED: James Ryon, Major Professor Elizabeth McNutt, Related Field Professor Kathleen Reynolds, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies for the College of Music Felix Olschofka, Interim Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Thompson, Jonathan Ryan. Crystal Clear: A Performance Guide and Electronic Accompaniment of Mario Lavista’s “Marsias for Oboe and Crystal Glasses.” Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2019, 109 pp., 6 tables, 16 figures, 2 appendices, bibliography, 49 titles. Mario Lavista (b. 1943) is a dominant figure in Mexican classical music. In the second half of the twentieth century, he promoted the use of contemporary techniques, leading to a series of collaborations with expert instrumentalists to explore extended techniques. Marsias for Oboe and Crystal Glasses is one of those pieces. Due to the nature of contemporary techniques, different oboes and reed styles produce different effects with the same fingerings. This document analyzes the contemporary fingerings in the two published editions of the work in consideration of the long-scrape reed style and oboes commonly used in the United States. The contemporary techniques were played on twelve professional oboe models as a way to collect data on how the printed fingerings work. The data is the foundation for the performance guide, which details every contemporary technique in the work.

  • Junior Guildhall Prospectus 2012 WELCOME to JUNIOR GUILDHALL
    Junior Guildhall Prospectus 2012 WELCOME TO JUNIOR GUILDHALL The Guildhall School of Music & Drama is one of Europe’s leading conservatoires, offering musicians, actors, stage managers and theatre technicians an inspiring environment in which to develop as artists and professionals. While the School’s main role is to provide the highest quality of education and professional training in higher education, the early training of talented children is regarded as fundamental with great importance and resources given to Junior Guildhall. Junior Guildhall is a specialist Saturday School offering advanced training to young people between the ages of 4 and 18. The students are able to combine their Guildhall training with their general education in local schools. They come together to experience and learn about music and drama under the guidance of staff drawn from London’s orchestras and freelance professionals. Most of the students go on to study their chosen discipline full-time at undergraduate level, eventually making careers in the profession, though others can, and do, move into totally different fields. Links between the full-time courses of the School and Junior Guildhall are strong and many professors teach on both programmes. Junior Guildhall students are often invited to participate in the School’s events and, on Saturdays, the entire facilities of the School are given over to Junior Guildhall. Visitors are always welcome – if you wish to arrange a visit please contact the Junior Guildhall office. Regardless of their ultimate direction, students find that the professional artistic environment of the Guildhall School provides them with valuable life skills and the means to develop their individual talents to the full.
