The nationally established Glee Club’s latest venue sees the award-winning comedy brand teaming up with the Luminar Group - the company which ran the basement premises as JJ’s club until late last year. Big-name comedy performers already booked to appear include Patrick Monahan, Gary Delaney, Nathan Caton and Paul McCaffrey. The highly rated comedians will be following in the footsteps of the leg- endary Laurel and Hardy, who performed at the Theatre Royal in 1952. Explaining the reasons for opening a venue in Hanley, Glee Club founder Mark Tughan said: “As soon as we were shown the place, we knew we had a lot to offer. There’s a really vibrant nighttime entertainment scene in Hanley, and we’re looking to add to this by bringing back big laughs and top comics to the former Theatre Royal.” For further information, visit glee.co.uk Festive duo Hooked on pantomime Jonathan Wilkes and Christian Patterson look set to further cement their status as Stoke’s favourite panto duo when they return to the city’s Regent Theatre this Christmas to star in Peter Pan.

  • Moon, Sun & All Things
    Moon, sun & all things BAROQUE MUSIC FROM LATIN AMERICA – 2 Ex Cathedra Jeffrey Skidmore Moon, sun & all things Jeffrey Skidmore writes … It is not surprising that Hanacpachap cussicuinin is so widely performed throughout Latin America and also seems to capture the imagination of all who hear it outside this seductive region. The music is noble, magical and haunting and is the earliest printed polyphony from the continent of South America. It is set for four voices in Sapphic verse in the Quechua language. The colourful imagery of the sequence of prayers skilfully mixes Inca and Christian imagery, with its references to stores of silver and gold, life without end, deceitful jaguars and sins of the devil. The singers may sing it ‘in processions entering the church’. It makes an extraordinarily powerful beginning to any service, concert, or recording. It is recorded here for the third time by Ex Cathedra with new orchestrations and new verses. It is surprising that it is so often performed using only the first two of the twenty verses given in the source. Moon, sun and all things is an anthology of Latin American music from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, chosen from the vast amount of extraordinary repertoire I discovered on research visits to the USA, Mexico and Bolivia. I worked in the Loeb Music Library at Harvard University, the Puebla Cathedral Archive and the Bolivian National Library in Sucre. I met many musicians in the National Arts Centre in Mexico City and in the Association for Art and Culture (APAC) in Santa Cruz. These were wonderful trips and I made many new friends who were companions and guides giving generously of their time: Salua Delalah (German Embassy), Ton de Wit (Prins Claus Foundation), Cecilia Kenning de Mansilla (APAC) and Josefina Gonsález (Saint Cecilia Choir, Puebla).

  • New Degree Proposal – Doctorate of Musical Arts University of Utah School of Music
    New Degree Proposal – Doctorate of Musical Arts University of Utah School of Music Primary Contact: Robert Walzel, DMA Director School of Music [email protected] SECTION I: The Request The University of Utah requests approval to offer the Doctorate of Musical Arts degree effective Fall 2007. This program has been approved by the institutional Board of Trustees on _______. SECTION II: Program Description The basic orientation of the Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) is professional practice emphasizing the creation or performance of musical works and the application and transmission of pedagogical knowledge of performance related issues. Doctoral degree programs in music are divided by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), the accrediting agency for music units in higher education, into two fundamental categories: 1) research-oriented degrees, and 2) performance-oriented degrees. The PhD is the principal degree for research programs, and the Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) is the predominant degree for performance programs. The School of Music currently administers research-oriented PhD degree programs in Music Education and Composition, but does not offer the performance-oriented DMA. In requesting approval to implement a performance doctorate, the School of Music seeks to join all other NASM accredited doctoral-granting institutions in offering the DMA degree. The School of Music at the University of Utah is currently the only accredited doctoral-granting comprehensive music school that does not offer the DMA. The DMA requires a minimum of 58 hours beyond the masters degree. A traditional dissertation is not required because the degree focuses on performance rather than research in music.

  • Giving New Voices to Old Music: Baroque Vocal Music with Ex Cathedra
    M4C Collaborative Doctoral Award - Giving New Voices to Old Music: Baroque Vocal Music with Ex Cathedra Project Title Giving New Voices to Old Music: Baroque Vocal Music with Ex Cathedra LEAD INSTITUTION Name of HEI institution Birmingham City University Lead regional city Birmingham ☒ Coventry ☐ Leicester ☐ Nottingham ☐ PARTNER ORGANISATION Name of organisation Ex Cathedra Website URL https://excathedra.co.uk THE RESEARCH PROJECT Since the early music revival of the 1960s and 1970s Baroque music has become a staple feature of the concert hall, with ever- increasing attempts to get as close as possible to the original sound world through historically-informed performance. However, as Bruce Haynes notes, modern musicians ‘perform certain pieces into the ground, like the Brandenburg concertos or the Four Seasons – much more frequently than they were ever performed, or intended to be’ (2007: 87). On the one hand there exists a wealth of music from the period that has been little explored by either musicologists or performers, whilst on the other there is an appetite for new works, as best-selling recordings of modern premières demonstrate. The situation is even more acute for choral works, which have – on the whole – received far less scholarly attention than the operas and instrumental music of the period. Ex Cathedra has been at the forefront of explorations in this field, both in terms of rediscovering hitherto neglected music (particularly, but not exclusively, in the field of Latin American Baroque music) and in exploring the new insights that historically- informed performance can bring to classics of the canon (including Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius).
