2019 SUMMER EVENTS

[Pages:12]EVENTS SUMMER

2019

WELCOME

It is my pleasure as Director of Music to introduce this Events Guide for my first Summer Term at Purcell. I always enjoy building any artistic programme, and I hope that there is something here for everyone.

We very much look forward to seeing you at any of the concerts and masterclasses in the booklet, either at school or in one of our prestigious London venues, including the Southbank Centre and Wigmore Hall. In a particularly exciting new venture, we shall be live streaming a series of concerts online, bringing The Purcell School Recital Room to you; enabling you to attend virtually, from wherever you are in the world.

One of the joys of this place is the enormous range of work that happens every week, even in a term heavy with public exams. You will find every department of the school represented here, contributing to a rich menu of jazz, classical, romantic and 20th Century repertoire, alongside work by some of our many student composers. Solo recitals appear side by side with chamber ensembles, orchestras, choirs and many jazz ensembles. You will also see that we draw not only on the talents of our exceptional students: we also showcase some of our alumni, teaching staff, and world-renowned guest artists.

I am looking forward to working with Stephen Isserlis at the Deal Festival in what will be my first public performance here as a conductor. I am also excited about the visits of Cambridge Professor John Rink and LSO oboist Juliana Koch. New collaborations this term include the Hertfordshire Festival of Music, and we continue to welcome longstanding friends such as Guy Johnston and Remus Azoitei.

Every day at the Purcell School includes something extraordinary ? please come and share it with us.

Paul Hoskins Director of Music
