Warmth, affection and enjoyment were its keynotes, right from Felix Aprahamian's opening recollection of the premiere of the Third Violin Sonata in the same IIall in 1930, al which Eric was also presenl, to the playing of Late Swallows which proved an almost overwhelming climax at its end. As I walked away from Wigmore Hall when it was all over I found myself hoping lhat Eric might have been quielly pleased wilh what we had done; he would certainly have been impressed by the generosity of artists such as 1bsmin Lillie and Julian Lloyd Webber who had selflessly come together to play the music which had meant so much to him throughout his long life. Our gratitude to them and to their fellow artists in enabling us to mount a worthy tribule is profound. I was particularly glad that some of Eric's own music could be included; it was the first time he had heard anything of his father's, Roger Fenby told me, since he was a small boy. As for Delius's music, how well it suited Eric's whole nature and being came home to me again a few weeks later when I conducted The Walk to tire Paradise Garden at Symphony Hall; not only was I struck once again by the sheer beauty of that music but by its reticent character, its other­ worldliness without austerity, its lack of flamboyant gesture. All these were characteristics also of Eric, repeatedly brought out in the fine collection of lribulcs lo him garnered in the last /oumal. Those now constitute a permanent record, and will continue to demonstrate the way we felt about him when memories of an evening of glorious music-making have long since dimmed. We shall never forget him. In 1990 he spoke of 'an abiding wish for the continuance of the Society long after my death.' It will be our task now to sec that lhat wish is fulfilled, not only here but in other parts of the world where he enjoyed wonderful friendships in the Delius cause. Lyndon Jenkins 5 We welcome the news of the appointment, as a Trustee and Chairman of The Delius Trust, of David Lloyd-Jones, the conductor, and we look forward to working with him. Mr Lloyd-Jones replaces Meredith Davies, who has occupied that position for the past six years, and whose cordial relationship with the Society has been greatly appreciated. We arc glad to learn that Mr Davies will continue to be associated with the Trust as Adviser Emeritus. The Editor is particularly pleased to publish, in this issue, the first of a series of articles about The Delius Trust and the individuals who represent it and carry out its work. 1997 has been a year of much sadness and also much joy for Delians. The death of Eric Fenby robbed us of a unique link with Delius himself; not only Delius the man, but also Delius the creative artist. Eric so readily made himself available to us over the years that we may al times have been inclined to take for granted his generosity Lo the Society; we shall no doubt continue to contemplate, and appreciate ever more, his contribution. We also lost, among others, the distinguished scholar Rachel Lowe Dugmore, formerly Archivist of The Delius Trust and the author of a number of invaluable books and papers on Delian subjects. We can, however, rejoice in a year of music that has seen the second Danville Delius Festival, the first staged performance of The Magic Fou11tai11, a number of fine new recordings, three of which are reviewed in this issue, and the Society's first public concert: the highly successful Wigmore Hall event of 16th September. The AGM weekend in Cheltenham attracted a record atten­ dance and was much appreciated. With the Trust, we inaugurated our Internet presence. We enjoyed another well planned and well attended season of talks and musical events, both in London and in the Midlands and South West Branches. Our relationships with the Trust and with the three North American Delius organisations flourished, ever more cordial and productive. The journal keeps us in touch with each other. Ple<1se send in your arlicles, reviews, comments and ideas - and keep them coming. 6 DELIUS TRUST PRESS RELEASE TRUSTEES The Trust announces that Meredith Davies, CBE, FRCM, I Ion RAM, I Ion FTCL, has resigned as a Trustee and Chairman of The Delius Trust.

  • Menuhin Competition Returns to London in 2016 in Celebration of Yehudi Menuhin's Centenary
    Menuhin Competition returns to London in 2016 in celebration of Yehudi Menuhin's Centenary 7-17 April 2016 The Menuhin Competition - the world’s leading competition for violinists under the age of 22 – announces its return to London in 2016 in celebration of Yehudi Menuhin’s centenary. Founded by Yehudi Menuhin in 1983 and taking place in a different international city every two years, the Competition returns to London in 2016 after first being held there in 2004. The centenary event will take place in partnership with some of the UK’s leading music organisations: the Royal Academy of Music, the Philharmonia Orchestra, Southbank Centre, the Yehudi Menuhin School and the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. It will be presented in association with the BBC Concert Orchestra and BBC Radio 3 which will broadcast the major concerts. Yehudi Menuhin lived much of his life in Britain, and his legacy - not just as one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century, but as an ambassador for music education - is the focus of all the Competition’s programming. More festival of music and cultural exchange than mere competition, the Menuhin Competition in 2016 will be a rich ten-day programme of concerts, masterclasses, talks and participatory activities with world-class performances from candidates and jury members alike. Competition rounds take place at the Royal Academy of Music, with concerts held at London’s Southbank Centre. 2016 jury members include previous winners who have gone on to become world class soloists: Tasmin Little OBE, Julia Fischer and Ray Chen. Duncan Greenland, Chairman of the Menuhin Competition comments: “We are delighted to be bringing the Competition to London in Menuhin’s centenary year and working with such prestigious partners.

Not least the wonderful music we are going to hear in the splendour of the greatest surviving Georgian town palace in London. The City Music Foundation – CMF – is just five years old and it was created in this house. Its mission is to turn talent into success by giving training in the “business of music” to soloists and ensembles at the start of their professional careers, as well as promoting them extensively in a modern and professional manner. Several - the Gildas Quartet, Michael Foyle, and Giacomo Smith with the Kansas Smitty’s, are playing for us this evening. This year CMF hopes to move into a more permanent home in the City at St Bartholomew the Less, within the boundaries of St Bartholomew’s Hospital – and within the City of London’s ‘Culture Mile’. This anticipates the relocation of the Museum of London to its new site in Smithfield and the creation of a new Centre for Music on the south side of the Barbican – all exciting developments in the heart of the Capital.

    Tasmin Little On 10th March 2006, The Independent newspaper wrote “Tasmin Little was ideal to represent the Menuhin School's alumni. She is a true successor: international star, enthusiastic chamber player, and now conducting, too”. Biography In addition to a flourishing career as violin soloist which has taken her to every continent of the world, Tasmin Little has further established her reputation as Artistic Director of two Festivals: in 2006 her hugely successful “Delius Inspired” Festival was broadcast for a week on BBC Radio 3 in July. An exciting range of events, ranging from orchestral concerts and chamber music to films and exhibitions, also reached 800 school children in an ambitious programme designed to widen interest in classical music for young people. In 2008 she begins her first year as Artistic Director of the annual Orchestra of the Swan “Spring Sounds” Festival, which this year will feature two world premieres alongside firm favourites in the English and American repertoire. As a concerto player, Tasmin’s performances in the 2006/07 season took her on a major tour to South East Asia and Australia playing Elgar’s violin concerto celebrating the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth as well as playing other repertoire in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Singapore, Ireland and throughout England. She now play/directs orchestras such as Norwegian Chamber, London Mozart Players, Royal Philharmonic, European Union Chamber Orchestra and Britten Sinfonia. In 2007/08 she joins the London Mozart Players as a soloist and director in a tour of the UK which will also feature her UK conducting debut.

  • Tasmin Little: Playing Great Music in Unexpected Locations
    Tasmin Little: Playing great music in unexpected locations But it was. To see if the British can recognise great music in an unexpected setting - and whether they're prepared to pay for it - we took Tasmin Little and her Strad on to the streets. Jessica Duchen went along to watch the show Published: 20 April 2007 The railway bridge beside Waterloo station is a busy pedestrian cut popular with buskers, Big Issue sellers and the homeless seeking shelter. This week, it also played host to the most unusual buskers in London as Tasmin Little, protegée of Yehudi Menuhin and former prizewinner in the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition, and now one of our leading violinists, set up her pitch with her Stradivarius. The Independent decided to give Little one of the more difficult challenges of her career - to test how people would react to a great artist giving a performance in a totally unexpected setting. When we enter the tunnel's draughty shade, fresh from a blazing spring afternoon, there are no other musicians, no hawkers, and just one diminutive beggar sitting cross-legged with a baseball cap in front of him. Little, dressed down in grey fleece and black slacks, tunes her Strad. We put a few coins in the violin case, just to start the ball rolling. Feeling a tad guilty at invading the homeless man's patch, we approach him to explain. He gives Little's violin the once-over, then asks, in an Italian accent: "Is that a Stradivarius?" He, like the violin, is from Cremona.
