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.

Fortunately I am rarely overheard as I endlessly repeat words and phrases, trying to find the music in them: the exact pitches and rhythms needed to portray a particular emotion often take me an exasperatingly long time to find. One of the things that I love most about writing songs is that I feel I truly get to know and understand the poetry I am setting. The music, as I write it, allows me to feel as if I am inhabiting the character in the poem, and I often only discover what the poem really says to me when I reach the final bar. This disc features a number of texts either written especially for me (Kei Miller, Tamsin Collison, Andrew Motion, Stuart Murray), or already in existence (Kate Wakeling, Ian McMillan, 4th century Aristotle).

  • Institution: the Open University
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: The Open University Unit of Assessment: D35 Music, Drama, Dance and Performing Arts Title of case study: Performing and contextualising the music of George Frideric Handel 1. Summary of the impact Extensive research conducted by Donald Burrows on the music and biography of Handel has had a significant impact on the way Handel’s music is performed and heard. It has directly enabled and influenced a large number of public performances internationally, by a range of ensembles. It has also materially contributed to enhancing public awareness, and enjoyment of the music of this important composer, and of his historical significance, through publications and input to festivals, recordings, broadcasts and exhibitions. The research has facilitated and supported performances of Baroque music that are ‘authentic’ in content and style, at a time when Handel’s music has been a fundamental repertory for orchestras, choirs and opera companies. 2. Underpinning research The research programme has produced outputs that have provided essential resources for performers, and have enhanced the understanding of Handel and his music in the general public. The research has involved the simultaneous pursuit of musical and documentary sources, in order to establish the textual history of Handel’s works, to interpret this history in terms of chronological, historical and biographical factors, and to present the results in forms that help performers make key decisions about the music. The musical sources for most of Handel’s major works are complex in content because the composer made many changes between composition, performance and revivals: identification of his various ‘performing versions’ (and associated matters of performance practice) provides the basis on which good modern performances can be planned and executed.

  • Over 100 Opera Makers
    #OPERAHARMONY CREATING OPERAS IN ISOLATION 1 3 WELCOME TO #OPERA HARMONY FROM FOUNDER – ELLA MARCHMENT Welcome to #OperaHarmony. #Opera Harmony is a collection of opera makers from across the world who, during this time of crisis, formed an online community to create new operas. I started this initiative when the show that I was rehearsing at Dutch National Opera was cancelled because of the lockdown. Using social media and online platforms I invited colleagues worldwide to join me in the immense technical and logistical challenge of creating new works online. I set the themes of ‘distance’ and ‘community’, organised artist teams, and since March have been overseeing the creation of twenty new operas. All the artists involved in #OperaHarmony are highly skilled professionals who typically apply their talents in creating live theatre performances. Through this project, they have had to adapt to working in a new medium, as well as embracing new technologies and novel ways of creating, producing, and sharing work. #OperaHarmony’s goal was to bring people together in ways that were unimaginable prior to Covid-19. Over 100 artists from all the opera disciplines have collaborated to write, stage, record, and produce the new operas. The pieces encapsulate an incredibly dark period for the arts, and they are a symbol of the unstoppable determination, and community that exists to perform and continue to create operatic works. This has been my saving grace throughout lockdown, and it has given all involved a sense of purpose. When we started building these works we had no idea how they would eventually be realised, and it is with great thanks that we acknowledge the support of Opera Vision in helping to both distribute and disseminate these pieces, and also for establishing a means in which audiences can be invited into the heart of the process too .
