2005 Distinguished Faculty, John Hall
The Complete Recitalist June 9-23 n Singing On Stage June 18-July 3 n Distinguished faculty John Harbison, Jake Heggie, Martin Katz, and others 2005 Distinguished Faculty, John Hall Welcome to Songfest 2005! “Search and see whether there is not some place where you may invest your humanity.” – Albert Schweitzer 1996 Young Artist program with co-founder John Hall. Songfest 2005 is supported, in part, by grants from the Aaron Copland Fund for Music and the Virgil Thomson Foundation. Songfest photography courtesy of Luisa Gulley. Songfest is a 501(c)3 corporation. All donations are 100% tax-deductible to the full extent permitted by law. Dear Friends, It is a great honor and joy for me to present Songfest 2005 at Pepperdine University once again this summer. In our third year of residence at this beautiful ocean-side Malibu campus, Songfest has grown to encompass an ever-widening circle of inspiration and achievement. Always focusing on the special relationship between singer and pianist, we have moved on from our unique emphasis on recognized masterworks of art song to exploring the varied and rich American Song. We are once again privileged to have John Harbison with us this summer. He has generously donated a commission to Songfest – Vocalism – to be premiered on the June 19 concert. Our singers and pianists will be previewing his new song cycle on poems by Milosz. Each time I read these beautiful poems, I am reminded why we love this music and how our lives are enriched. What an honor and unique opportunity this is for Songfest. -

This has been a great year for the Philip Bates Trust. We had a wonderful Touch of Basil concert last September, an enjoyable Games & Quiz evening in March, and Registered Charity No. 0194937 considered 35 applications for fund- ing, an increase from 23 the previous year. Come along to support us again on September 28th for an unbelievably varied evening of music at Birming- ham Conservatoire in a Touch of Basil 2013, raising money to help young people involved in the arts. It is a real thrill to know that The Junior Academy of Vocal Music will return then after a break of 8 years - who can forget how they entertained us back in 2005?! Games and Quiz Night 2013 The Philip Bates Trust Games and Quiz Night took place on Saturday 9th March 2013 at Arden Hall in Castle Bromwich. The evening included a general knowl- edge quiz round organised by Stan & Sue Gamble, pictionary on the subject of towns, a music quiz where Martin Bates played TV theme tunes back- wards, a ‘guess the faces’ and numbers round from Alan Spiers, Railway Riot, ‘Items in an Envelope Game’ organ- ised by Karen Moulton and the alpha- bet game. Jacket potatoes with various fillings, followed by cakes, were eagerly consumed at the refreshment break. Over £500 was raised for the Trust and great fun was had by all.
