Barbirolli Guidance 4th Isle of Man, British Isles 01 – 08 April 2017 Founded 2005 In Association with Supported by The Isle of Man Arts Council, Hugh and Sandra Davidson and Jim Mellon Barbirolli International Oboe Festival and Competition Isle of Man The Barbirolli International Oboe Festival and Competition is one the most prestigious oboe events in the world and is named after the English oboist Evelyn Rothwell (Lady Barbirolli), wife of the distinguished conductor Sir John Barbirolli. The competition has been held in the Isle of Man since 2005 when it transferred from the Isle of Wight. Over the years, the Festival and Competition have done much to promote young oboists and to encourage new music for the instrument through its commissioned works. Like its counterpart, the Tertis International Viola Competition, the oboe competition is promoted within a festival that offers recitals by distinguished oboists, masterclasses and seminars. The Festival and Competition are open to players of all nationalities. Oboists come from all over the world to participate and many have given very favourable feedback on the quality of the event as a whole. There are three main prizes and numerous subsidiary awards with the winner of the competition being engaged to appear at a major London venue in the UK. The Isle of Man is a unique place to visit for the Festival and Competition. It is not a part of the United Kingdom but a Crown Dependency situated 40 miles off the North West coast of England. The island is only 227 square miles in area and boasts some outstanding scenery with miles of unspoiled cliffs, bays, mountains and fields. Port Erin in the south-west of the island is a picturesque village with a remarkable Arts Centre that has for four decades promoted some of the best stars in music, theatre and the arts as well as being home to the renowned double bass, viola and oboe competitions. We hope our programme for Barbirolli 2017 will provide a stimulus for an exceptional Festival and Competition and we hope to see you in Port Erin between 1 and 8 April 2017. 2 President/Artistic Advisor: Jury: Secretariat: Professor George Caird Neil Black- UK Erin Arts Centre, Victoria Square, George Caird - UK (Chairman) Port Erin, Isle of Man IM9 6LD, Elaine Douvas - USA via UK.

The Isle of Wight International Oboe Competition established itself as a competition of high international standard, attracting the world’s best aspiring oboists as competitors and some of the world’s finest oboe players as judges through the guidance and inspiration of its Founder Artistic Director, Lady Barbirolli. The view of the Council of Management was that the competition had great potential to develop in the future. It was proposed that it become a Festival and Competition, inviting all competitors in person, plus non- competing oboists alike, to partake in workshops and masterclasses during the festival. It would thus greatly widen its benefit to young people and become an educational and inspirational forum for young oboists. Such a development for the competition goes beyond the capabilities of the small loyal band of part time supporters of the Isle of Wight event requiring a continuous infrastructure of both professional support and local commitment. And so it was the unanimous view of the Council of Management of the Isle of Wight International Oboe Competition that this vision for the future of the Competition, and the maintenance of its artistic standards, could only be attained by moving the Competition to the Isle of Man. Here, in 2005, it came under the umbrella of the Erin Arts Centre which has promoted the triennial Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition and Workshop in Port Erin since 1980 and the Mananan Festivals (of which the late Lady Barbirolli was its Patron until her death in 2008) since 1975 under their founder/director John Bethell MBE. The competition was moved to the Isle of Man with the blessing and encouragement of Lady Barbirolli and its recently retired chairman the late Michael Neubert. The aims of the competition, which will be held every three years, are to discover and encourage outstanding talent, to enable artists to gather experience in competing with other musicians and to provide an opportunity for performing particular repertoire including a new work at each competition. 5 In this competition the members of the jury are asked to assess each competitor on the basis of musicality, style, technique and presentation and the final judgement will be made on what is heard as the performances proceed during the week. The competition is exclusively for oboists and is open to musicians of all nationalities not more than 30 years of age on 1st April 2017. We hope our programme will provide a stimulus to everyone and will include performances of a high standard. 2017 PROGRAMME (Timetable subject to alteration) Friday 31st March 10.00 to 17.00 Registration Wednesday 05 April Saturday 08 April Special Hand frank on your mail posted 11.00 “The Oboe on record”.

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

  • 2012 Conference Abstracts (In Order of Presentation)
    2012 Conference Abstracts (in order of presentation) Thursday afternoon Session 1a: Mapping Musical Modernities at the BBC (3rd Floor) Vaughan Williams, Boult and the BBC JENNY DOCTOR, SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY Much scholarly discussion in recent years has focused on re-mapping notions of biography, exploring in music not only composers, performers and librettists, but also patrons, concert organizers and programme builders. In parallel with this emerged new ideas of institutional biography, opening up questions that contextualized the institution in terms of its cultural role. With such expanded impressions of biography, identity and contribution in mind, I explore Ralph Vaughan Williams and the BBC, considering the composer’s broadcasting activities and opportunities in relation to his Corporation contacts, in particular his interactions with BBC Music Director and Chief Conductor Adrian Boult. “The Best Possible Performance”: The BBC’s 1942 Music Policy and the Problem of Swung Classics CHRISTINA BAADE, MCMASTER UNIVERSITY This paper examines the BBC’s 1942 ban on swung classics, locating it at the nexus of three strands of British cultural expression during the Second World War: 1. the vogue for Russian (and Soviet) culture; 2. the expansion of American-style popular music in Britain; and 3. the development of People’s War discourses of democracy, populism, and tolerance. This paper argues that the ban represented a direct attempt to combat the commoditization of music and to develop a more musical citizenry. The BBC’s adoption of repressive means for democratic aims demonstrated the challenges of music broadcasting in modern mass culture. “The Machine Stops” and the Musical Acousmêtre LOUIS NIEBUR, UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO In 1966, BBC Television broadcast an adaptation of E.M.

    Call for Papers Material Histories: Networks of Women and Art in Cornwall Seminar for Tate Research Centre: Creative Communities Saturday 20 June 2015 Borlase Smart Room, Porthmeor Studios, St Ives, Cornwall Deadline for abstracts: Monday 27 April 2015 Keynote speakers Artist L​inder Sterling ​in conversation with Professor Dawn Ades CBE,​ University of Essex Panel chair Dr Sarah Victoria Turner,​ The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art Linder, C​ hild of the Mantic Stain,​ 2015. Acrylic on magazine page. © the artist On 13 March 1950, the composer Priaulx Rainier wrote to her close friend Barbara Hepworth: ‘There are moments in life when meetings can be turning points. One may perhaps have little intercourse later but the time has been taken, the significant germination continues an inevitable process of development.’ This one­day Tate Research seminar M​ aterial Histories: Networks of Women and Art in Cornwall s​eeks to explore how connections between women, such as Rainier and Hepworth, have shaped artistic legacies in Cornwall over the twentieth and twenty­first centuries. These connections are often characterised by creativity, friendship, patronage, community, travel, dialogue, care and support, and have had significant impacts upon how art is made, understood and displayed. Today, these connections continue to be felt in the places and institutions – both in Cornwall and elsewhere – through which art is created, experienced and researched. Many of these histories, however, have remained peripheral to narratives and displays.

  • Catalogue of the Papers of Bernard Leach
    Catalogue of the Papers and Books of BERNARD LEACH - - - - - - COMPILED BY ALYN GILES JONES, M.A., D.A.A., F.S.A. VOLUME I 1 – 10,803 - - - - - - Crafts Study Centre Bath 1984 - 1985 F O R E W O R D This is the third and final catalogue of the papers of Bernard Leach. However, a number of his letters are in the Muriel Rose archives, also held at the Crafts Study Centre: many of these are in answer to her own letters to him listed in the three Leach catalogues. Other Bernard Leach material may yet emerge, and hopefully any such records will be deposited at the Centre. Mr David Leach made available the first “trance” of these papers, for which the Centre is deeply grateful – as, indeed, it is for the contents of Bernard Leach II, also deposited by him. The second section of this catalogue concerns the papers of the late Mrs Trudi Scott, Bernard Leach’s housekeeper, confidante and indispensable prop during his last years. I had only one telephone conversation with her ever, shortly before she died, during which she promised me an original drawing by Bernard – which I never got! Following her death, I enquired of those close to her about her papers, and can thus claim credit for having saved them. They would otherwise have been thrown away. The collection consists largely of fascinating oddments, single pages of letters, infuriating but captivating jumbles of “membra disiecta”, which have required the repeated re-cataloguing of already catalogued entries, and the constant need to review and revise and rewrite, as fragments came together during the interim and final sortings.

  • Barbara Hepworth Teachers' Pack
    Teacher Resource Notes Barbara Hepworth Museum & Sculpture Garden These notes are designed to support teachers and students as they explore and engage with the art work and experience the unique setting of the Barbara Hepworth Museum & Sculpture Garden. Enquiries & Bookings: 01736 796226 [email protected] . 1 Introduction The Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden at Trewyn Studio in St Ives presents the artist’s sculpture in the place where she lived and worked for many years. As a ‘studio museum’ it is unique in this country and it has changed very little since Hepworth lived there. She placed many of the sculptures in the garden exactly where they are today. Hepworth lived at Trewyn from 1949 until her death in 1975. In her will she asked her executors to consider ‘the practicality of establishing a permanent exhibition of some of my works in Trewyn studio and its garden’. She envisaged her working studio being shown, as in her lifetime, with small works in the house and a few large works in the garden. A year after Hepworth’s death, the Museum and Sculpture Garden were opened to the public. In 1980 the Barbara Hepworth Museum was presented to the nation by her family and executors and today it is maintained and managed by the Trustees of Tate. ‘Finding Trewyn studio was a sort of magic. For ten years I had passed by with my shopping bags, not knowing what lay behind the twenty-foot wall…Here was a studio, a yard and a garden, where I could work in open air and space.’ Barbara Hepworth: A Pictorial Autobiography, London, 1970, p52 2 A Walk Around … Ground floor This room, which was originally the kitchen, dining-room and bathroom, introduces you to Barbara Hepworth as a person not just a sculptor.

  • Remembering The
    REMEMBERING THE LOQ Brian Hawkins writes about his years performing with Janet Craxton in the London Oboe Quartet, with reference to their CD of music by Lennox Berkeley, Nicola LeFanu, Elisabeth Lutyens, Elizabeth Maconchy, Francis Routh and Richard Stoker (Oboe Classics CC2011). In January 1967 I was asked by Perry Hart if I would be willing to step in at short notice to deputise in the Oromonte Trio for their indisposed viola player at a BBC Invitation Concert. The programme of works by Priaulx Rainier was to include the first performance of the String Trio of 1965, dedicated to the Oromonte, and Janet Craxton would join us for a performance of 'Quanta' for Oboe and String Trio, a work they had already played together, and the Mozart K370 Oboe Quartet. Janet and I had not met or worked together before, and I was immediately captivated by her charm and sense of humour. I remember those rehearsals well. The Rainier Trio was quite a complicated score and our work was made more difficult by the spidery manuscript. 'Quanta' on the other hand, was already well-known by the others and much more approachable. Janet's playing in this and the Mozart inspired us all. Our live transmission from the Concert Hall of Broadcasting House was fuelled with adrenaline, but the tension was eased by the familiar and comforting voice of Alvar Liddel who introduced the programme. Priaulx' insistence on rewriting the closing bars of the String Trio during the final balance test did not deflect us, and the broadcast went very well.
