  • Jon Lord June 9 1941 – July 16 2012
    Jon Lord June 9 1941 – July 16 2012 Founder member of Deep Purple, Jon Lord was born in Leicester. He began playing piano aged 6, studying classical music until leaving school at 17 to become a Solicitor’s clerk. Initially leaning towards the theatre, Jon moved to London in 1960 and trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama, winning a scholarship, and paying for food and lodgings by performing in pubs. In 1963 he broke away from the school with a group of teachers and other students to form the pioneering London Drama Centre. A year later, Jon “found himself“ in an R and B band called The Artwoods (fronted by Ronnie Wood’s brother, Art) where he remained until the summer of 1967. During this period, Jon became a much sought after session musician recording with the likes of Elton John, John Mayall, David Bowie, Jeff Beck and The Kinks (eg 'You Really Got Me'). In December 1967, Jon met guitarist Richie Blackmore and by early 1968 the pair had formed Deep Purple. The band would pioneer hard rock and go on to sell more than 100 million albums, play live to more than 10 million people, and were recognized in 1972 by The Guinness Book of World Records as “the loudest group in the world”. Deep Purple’s debut LP “Shades of Deep Purple” (1968) generated the American Top 5 smash hit “Hush”. In 1969, singer Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover joined and the band’s sound became heaver and more aggressive on “Deep Purple in Rock” (1970), where Jon developed a groundbreaking new way of amplifying the sound of the Hammond organ to match the distinctive sound of the electric guitar.

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.

We are to be treated to Viktoria Mullova’s exquisite violin playing within the intimacy of the piano trio, where she performs with her husband, cellist Matthew Barley and long-time collaborator, one of New Zealand’s favourite pianists, Stephen De Pledge. Their programme is drawn from the cornerstones of the repertoire - the impassioned masterpiece of Schubert’s Trio in E flat followed in the second half by the heartfelt and sensual sonorities in Ravel’s Trio in A Minor, I am sure this will be an evening to remember. The CMNZ commission of a new work by Salina Fisher ‘Mono no aware’ for cello and piano is generously supported by Prof. Jack C Richards and received its world premiere at the Melbourne Recital Centre ahead of the CMNZ tour.

  • Beethoven and Brahms
    Cocktail Hour Chamber music of Beethoven and Brahms 23 & 24 AUGUST SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE UTZON ROOM SYDNEY SYMPHONY CHAMBER MUSIC 2019 Beethoven and Brahms Beethoven’s three ‘Razumovsky’ Quartets appeared in 1806, FRIDAY 23 AUGUST | 6PM commissioned by the Russian ambassador to the Viennese court, SATURDAY 24 AUGUST | 6PM Count Razumovsky. A fine amateur musician, he also patronised SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE the quartet, led by Ignaz Schuppanzigh, that was ‘placed at UTZON ROOM [Beethoven’s] complete disposal.’ At Razumovsky’s request, Beethoven included Russian folk melodies in the first two (and made a fair facsimile in the third). Beethoven’s revolutionary ‘Eroica’ Symphony left its mark on the scale and form of the first ‘Razumovsky’, but its mannerisms can be found in the second, as in the opening gesture. Two isolated chords followed by a bar of silence leave us none the wiser about the speed or rhythmic character of what follows. We are richly rewarded by the bewildering array of implications drawn from the ideas in the first few bars. The serene second movement unfolds expansively over some fourteen minutes, and according to Beethoven’s student Carl Czerny, represents the composer’s contemplation of a starry sky and the music of the spheres. A Beethoven in 1800 greater contrast with the restless energy of the first movement LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN couldn’t be imagined, nor with the dance movement which (1770–1827) follows. This is an insistent allegretto, but it is in the central trio String Quartet in E minor, that Beethoven a Russian theme – the same one sung in the ‘Razumovsky’ Coronation Scene from Mussorgsky’s opera Boris Godunov.
