WELCOME TO A NEW AUTUMN SEASON AT THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF MUSIC
This autumn, we celebrate the unequalled tradition of composition at the RCM with RCM Composers Week. Works by RCM professors Mark-Anthony Turnage, Dai Fujikura, Simon Holt, William Mival and Jonathan Cole are featured in performances by the New Perspectives ensemble, our long-running From the Soundhouse series and a special lunchtime concert. You can also hear works from earlier generations, including Stanford, Tippett and Vaughan Williams, as well as from current students.
Our new orchestral series – Orchestral Masterworks – is launched in September. With the emphasis on the most important works of the repertoire, there are chances to hear Brahms’ Symphony no 1, Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony, Dukas’ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and Tchaikovsky’s ever-popular Nutcracker Suite. We are also delighted to welcome the dynamic conductor Juraj Valcˇuha for Mahler’s final completed symphony, no 9, while the RCM Chorus and Symphony Orchestra visit the world of Italian opera in a programme of Rossini and Verdi, with Puccini’s youthful and exuberant Messa di Gloria.
We are pleased to welcome back English Touring Opera for a residency featuring three classics of the opera repertory – Pelléas et Mélisande, Werther, and The Tales of Hoffmann. A new partnership opens, too, as members of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe work alongside our students in a study and performance of Beethoven’s Symphony no 2.
There are masterclasses from John Lill, Sarah Connolly, Maxim Rysanov and Berlin Philharmonic Principal Horn Stefan Dohr; the ninth International Festival of Viols with guest Christophe Coin; and the RCM Big Band pays tribute to Eddie Harvey and Will Michael. Our Chamber Essentials series continues with classics by Haydn and Mozart, and, beyond the concert stage, we launch a new series of talks, Music and Ideas.
To complete the season, we present two unmissable events – a performance of William Walton’s Façade with Sir Thomas Allen and Sally Burgess, and Johann Strauss’ hilarious musical comedy, Die Fledermaus. We look forward to welcoming you.
