    2018/19 Season January - March 2019 2 • This spring, two of today's greatest Lieder interpreters, the German baritone Christian Gerhaher and his regular pianist Gerold Huber, return to survey one of the summits of the repertoire, Schubert’s psychologically intense Winterreise. Harry Christophers and The Sixteen join us with a programme of odes, written to welcome Charles II back Director’s to London from his visits to Newmarket, alongside excerpts from Purcell's incidental music to Theodosius, Nathaniel Lee's 1680 tragedy. Introduction Leading Schubert interpreter Christian Zacharias delves into the composer’s unique melodic, harmonic and thematic flourishes in his lecture-recital. Through close examination of these musical hallmarks and idiosyncrasies, he takes us on a journey to the very essence of Schubert’s style. With her virtuosic ability to sing anything from new works to Baroque opera and Romantic Lieder with exceptional quality, Marlis Petersen is one of the most enterprising singers today. Her residency continues with two concerts, sharing the stage with fellow singers and accompanists of international acclaim. This year’s Wigmore Hall Learning festival, Sense of Home, celebrates the diversity and multicultural melting pot that is London and the borough of Westminster, reflects on Wigmore Hall as a place many call home, and invites you to explore what ‘home’ means to you. One of the most admired singers of the present day, Elīna Garanča, will open the 2018/19 season at the Metropolitan Opera as Dalila in Saint-Saëns’ Samson et Dalila. Her programme in February – comprising four major cycles – includes Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder, two of which were identified by the composer himself as studies for Tristan und Isolde.

  • Sally Beamish | Opus California Boardwalk & Natural Bridges
    Sally Beamish | Opus California Boardwalk & Natural Bridges A LEVEL RESOURCES | SET WORK SALLY BEAMISH BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE ● Sally Beamish was born in London in 1956 and now lives in Scotland. She started composing music when she was four years old which her mother, who was a violinist, would play for her. ● She studied at the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester, and spent ten years as a professional viola player during which time she played with the Raphael Ensemble, the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields and was principal viola with the London Mozart Players. The years spent playing were very important when she eventually became a full-time composer: “The single most valuable thing was learning how it feels to play someone else’s music.” ● She switched from playing to composing around 1990 after having her first child: “Playing the viola all the time I was miserable at not seeing the children enough, so the only thing to do was to compose.” The move to composing was hastened when her viola was stolen and when she and her family moved to Scotland. ● She quickly established her name in the early 1990s with the help of an Arts Council Composers’ Bursary and by 1992 was receiving the equivalent of one performance a week and nine commissions in just one year. ● In 1999, Sally Beamish became Composer-in-Residence with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra and this led to a contract with the Norwegian publishers, Norsk Musikforlag (who publish Opus California) as well as a relationship with the Swedish-based BIS record label.
