Although our pupils have given each other the most wonderfully enthusiastic support over the past 15 months, the absence of the general public has been keenly felt and we are tremendously excited to once again open our doors to the outside world. This year’s Festival is a bold reimagining of the event. It provides a wonderful platform for the School to showcase an increasingly diverse approach to its pupils’ education and I’m proud of the way in which everyone has engaged so imaginatively with the range of activities included in the programme. Alongside traditional events including the Student Showcases and the Orchestra Picnic, I’m delighted to welcome special guests such as Carl Davis and Charles Owen, as well as our some of our Leavers from 2020 who were so cruelly denied a farewell performance last year. Our Family Day promises to be a very special occasion which highlights the creative spirit of the School in collaboration with the extraordinary skills of Chris Jarvis and Les Bubb. We anticipate a truly festive atmosphere in which the School grounds will be open to the public for picnics in between performances. We have missed you – our public – during this long period of enforced closure, and the precious value of live music has become increasingly apparent to all. It’s a great pleasure to welcome you back. Ashley Wass Director of Music "I feel it is the musician’s role to maintain our trust in the world and the world’s trust in us, to help us express genuine emotions. When music takes on that responsibility, it draws upon the best kind of human effort and is deeply therapeutic, harmonising the physical and the spiritual, the intellectual and emotional, joining body and soul." - Yehudi Menuhin Orchestral Picnic Magic Piano & The Chopin Shorts Holberg Suite Edvard Grieg Praeludium 1843—1907 Sarabande Gavotte Air Rigaudon The Yehudi Menuhin School Orchestra Guest Leader: Doriane Gable Serenade for Guitar and Strings Op 50 Malcolm Arnold 1921—2006 The Yehudi Menuhin School Junior Orchestra Directed by Matthew Taylor Kotone Ozaki Guitar Little Music for Strings Michael Tippett Prelude 1905—1998 Fugue Air Finale The Yehudi Menuhin School Junior Orchestra Directed by Matthew Taylor PICNIC INTERVAL 75 MINS Serenade for Strings in C major Op 48 Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky 1840—1893 Pezzo in forma di sonatina Valse Élégie Finale (Tema russo) The Yehudi Menuhin School Orchestra Guest Leader: Doriane Gable This concert will be followed by a presentation of scores to the pupils who are leaving the School at the end of this term. 4 SUMMER FESTIVAL 2021 Orchestral Picnic Magic Piano & The Chopin Shorts Magic Piano Directed by: Martin Clapp Live musical accompaniment: Etudes Frédéric Chopin Op 25 No 5 Jude Usborne 1810—1849 Op 10 No 3 Alasdair Howell Op 10 No 1 Claire Wang Op 10 No 7 Damir Durmanovic Op 25 No 6 Duru Erdogan Op 25 No 1 Stefanija Nikolich Op 25 No 12 Rebecca You Op 10 No 9 Mika Petrović Op 25 No 11 Tom Yang The Chopin Shorts Fat Hamster Directed by: Adam Wyrwas Op 25 No 8 Julius Backer Pl.ink!

His life as a performer, however, ensued principally as a way to make a living in the west a!er he and his family fled the Russian revolution of 1917. Until then, his first devotion was to composition, following in the footsteps of Tchaikovsky, who gave him much encouragement and some vital recommendations. The Suite No.1, written in the summer of 1893, is dedicated to the older composer, who died in November that same year. The Suite No.1 was originally entitled ‘Fantaisie-tableaux’: Rachmaninov envisaged it, he told his cousin Sofia Satina, as ‘a set of musical pictures’.

About us: The World’s First Planned Cultural Quarter Shared history and mission The Exhibition Road Cultural Group is a partnership of 18 leading cultural and educational organisations in and around Exhibition Road, South Kensington. Together these organisations comprise the world’s first planned cultural quarter, half of which falls within the Knightsbridge Neighbourhood Area. Created from the legacy of the Great Exhibition of 1851, and affectionately known as “Albertopolis”, this cultural quarter was established by the Royal Commission for the Great Exhibition of 1851 for the purpose of “increasing the means of industrial education and extending the influence of science and art upon productive industry”. Across its estate of 87 acres in South Kensington, the Royal Commission established three of the world’s most popular museums: The Natural History Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Science Museum and three colleges dedicated to arts, science and design: Imperial College London, the Royal College of Music and Royal College of Art and the most famous concert venue in the world, the Grade l listed Royal Albert Hall which was created originally as the Central Hall of Arts and Sciences. Over past century and a half, these institutions have been joined by other organisations that share the mission of promoting innovation and learning through the arts and science, including the Goethe Institut, Royal Geographical Society, Institute Français and the Ismaili Centre.
