SUMMER<br />
EVENTS<br />
<strong>2019</strong>
WELCOME<br />
It is my pleasure as Director of Music to<br />
introduce this <strong>Events</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> for my first <strong>Summer</strong><br />
Term at <strong>Purcell</strong>. I always enjoy building any<br />
artistic programme, and I hope that there is<br />
something here for everyone.<br />
We very much look forward to seeing you<br />
at any of the concerts and masterclasses in<br />
the booklet, either at school or in one of our<br />
prestigious London venues, including the<br />
Southbank Centre and Wigmore Hall. In a<br />
particularly exciting new venture, we shall be live<br />
streaming a series of concerts online, bringing<br />
The <strong>Purcell</strong> School Recital Room to you; enabling<br />
you to attend virtually, from wherever you are in<br />
the world.<br />
One of the joys of this place is the enormous range of work that happens every<br />
week, even in a term heavy with public exams. You will find every department of<br />
the school represented here, contributing to a rich menu of jazz, classical, romantic<br />
and 20th Century repertoire, alongside work by some of our many student<br />
composers. Solo recitals appear side by side with chamber ensembles, orchestras,<br />
choirs and many jazz ensembles. You will also see that we draw not only on the<br />
talents of our exceptional students: we also showcase some of our alumni, teaching<br />
staff, and world-renowned guest artists.<br />
I am looking forward to working with Stephen Isserlis at the Deal Festival in<br />
what will be my first public performance here as a conductor. I am also excited<br />
about the visits of Cambridge Professor John Rink and LSO oboist Juliana Koch.<br />
New collaborations this term include the Hertfordshire Festival of Music, and<br />
we continue to welcome longstanding friends such as Guy Johnston and Remus<br />
Azoitei.<br />
Every day at the <strong>Purcell</strong> School includes something extraordinary – please come<br />
and share it with us.<br />
