    GUIDE TO THE ERNEST BRADBURY ARCHIVE 1961 "Sir John has the right age and temperament. He can mirror the sentient loveliness o f this rare music, yet keep it free from cloying sentiment; he traces its inner lines as delicately as nature traces veins on a leaf and so shows the thin but unifying forces of Delius’ art - for Delius is not really a composer of the blurred image."

    Shakespeare Requiem' Receives Its First Performance, by PATRIC STANDFORD, YORKSHIRE POST

    Judith Bingham's 'Shakespeare Requiem' receives its first performance, by PATRIC STANDFORD, YORKSHIRE POST The long awaited première of Judith Bingham's Shakespeare Requiem took place in Leeds Town Hall, UK, on 29 November 2008. The opening of the newly built town hall in 1858 was celebrated with the formation of a grand choral society -- the Leeds Festival Chorus -- and its first musical director, William Sterndale Bennett, initiated a tradition of first performances in the autumn of that year by directing the first performance of his own cantata The May Queen. The tradition of bringing new works to Leeds has remained with the Festival Chorus throughout its century and a half lifetime. A succession of distinguished directors maintained the tradition by commissioning new choral works, and the chorus have brought to life a fine inventory of great choral premiers including Sullivan's Golden Legend and Dvorák's St Ludmilla in 1886 and Elgar's Caractacus in 1898 through to Walton's Belshazzar's Feast, the memorable commission of 1931, and Michael Berkeley's The Red Macula of 1989. For this year's 150th Anniversary celebration, Judith Bingham could hardly be a more ideal choice. A student of both composition and singing in her time at London's Royal Academy of Music, she joined the BBC Singers in 1983 and spent twelve years as a full time member, becoming closely involved from the inside in the many challenges of both new and old music that such a renowned professional group of singers would undertake on a weekly basis. As may be expected, there is a large amount of choral music in her considerable output -- her catalogue has recently been taken up by Peters Edition, London -- and yet the new work for Leeds is her largest choral and orchestral undertaking to date.

    Leeds Culture Strategy Draft Scrutiny Statement

    Leeds Culture Strategy Draft Scrutiny Statement Introduction 1. In accordance with the remit of the Inclusive Growth, Culture and Sport Scrutiny Board, we agreed at the beginning of the 2017/18 municipal year to consider and monitor progress with the city’s European Capital of Culture 2023 Bid as well as monitoring the development of a delivery plan linked to the city’s new Culture Strategy 2017-2030, which was formally adopted in July 2017. 2. In July 2017, we therefore received a detailed overview of the work undertaken to develop the Leeds 2023 European Capital of Culture Bid and expressed our support, recognising the cultural and economic value a successful bid could have to the city and the wider region. 3. However, in December 2017 we received a further briefing from the Chief Executive, Chief Officer for Culture and Sport and the Leader of the Council in light of developments surrounding the eligibility of the UK to host European Capital of Culture 2023. 4. In February 2018, the Director of City Development then provided an interim update on the development of the Culture Strategy Delivery Plan following the adoption of the new Culture Strategy for Leeds 2017-2030 and also the implications of events relating to the city’s bid for European Capital of Culture. At that stage, we also welcomed contributions from external witnesses representing the business sector and musical arts. 5. In consideration of all this information presented to Scrutiny, we have set out within this Statement our key observations and conclusions regarding the situation with the 2023 European Capital of Culture Bid and in moving forward with the delivery of the city’s Culture Strategy for 2017-2030.
