Both boys have been avid sailors since they could walk and were selected in October 2009 to join the National Squad, in competition with 70 other crews. They sail every weekend come rain, sleet or snow, mostly training at Whitemere near Ellesmere but travelling the entire country to take part in Team GB races. Besides the sailing element the boys have to undergo rigorous land training exercises to increase their overall fitness levels. Due to their excellent seamanship, they have been selected for extra training by one of the top coaches in the UK. George and Ed have been preparing for the Nationals in May/June and the World Cup in July this year which will be staged in Carnac in France. Here they will race against other RS Feva crews from around the world, with 130 boats already registered for this event. The boys have recently been sponsored by the OE Club and as a result will be sailing with the School crest on their boat. There are other opportunities to sponsor George and Ed and have your companies name on the sail or their boat.

    SHREWSBURY SCHOOL Music & Arts 58th Season September 2014 to July 2015 1 2 Welcome Welcome to the 58th Season of the Performing Arts at Shrewsbury School. This is a momentous year for the School, as we welcome our first 13- and 14-year-old girls in September 2014. We look forward to the many advantages that full co-education will bring to the School, not least further strength and enhancement to our musical and theatrical performances. Our own school concerts and plays are at the heart of the season, at which we celebrate the many talents of current pupils. Galin Ganchev, who has entranced audiences during his time at Shrewsbury with his dazzling piano playing, will give an evening recital and will also perform Rachmaninoff’s 3rd Piano Concerto with the School Orchestra. There is a wonderful chance to hear some of our talented young performers at the Wigmore Hall in London in February, and to hear the Chapel Choir singing Evensong at two of the most beautiful ecclesiastical buildings in the country. At the heart of the first part of our series lies Dr Charles Burney, one of Shrewsbury School’s greatest sons, writer, author, composer, traveller and friend to many 18th century luminaries. 2014 is the Bicentenary of his death, and the Salomon Quartet will lead the commemorations of his long and productive life. The St Cecilia Weekend concerts celebrate Burney and his times, and will include a fascinating illustrated lecture on the man himself. Our Community Choir will also join with pupil choristers and soloists to perform Mozart’s wonderful C Major Mass, the Missa Longa.

    IGRC Conference 18th - 23rd March 2016 Abstracts and Biographies SATURDAY 19th MARCH 2016 Session 1 – 9.00 am to 10.30 am Papers in TB18 Benjamin Bruant (IGRC, University of Surrey) Andrès Segovia’s collaboration with Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (MCT): Case study - Passacaglia opus 180 The Passacaglia, opus 180, was composed by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco in 1956 and is dedicated to Andrès Segovia, who never played or recorded it. The score was published in 1970 by Berben, a publishing house which had never previously worked with Andrès Segovia. The score was revised and fingered in 1968 by the guitarist and musicologist Angelo Gilardino. We can therefore question if Segovia had any influence on the piece, during the compositional, editing or publication process. When the immediate answer would seem to be that Segovia’s influence on the piece is limited or even non-existent, the newly discovered correspondences between the composer and the guitarist refute this hypothesis. This case study, based on analysis of the manuscript score as well as study of the correspondences between Segovia and MCT, aims to define the role of Segovia in the compositional process, to question the value of the publication of the Passacaglia and to assess the importance of historical information contained in the MCT/Segovia correspondences. Born in Le Havre (France), Benjamin Bruant began his musical study at the age of seven in his hometown. After getting a bachelor degree in Physics, he moved to Paris in order to improve his music knowledge. He studied with Pedro Ibanez at the Conservatoire Nationale de Region of Paris for three years.
