The lecture will be supported by live illustrations of the Trio K548 and the Sonata K454, which Irving will perform in an evening concert with Aisslinn Nosky (see page 7).

RESEARCHWORKS


Missions and visions for higher music education institutionsBased on a study of a selection of European conservatoires, Harald Jorgensen, Professor of Education, Emeritus at the Norwegian Academy of Music asks: What are the missions and visions for these institutions? What do they regard as their primary tasks and responsibilities? This event will include a panel discussion.



Communication in Music Performance and its Teaching and Learning at the Guildhall SchoolCommunication is a much-cited criterion of successful performance, but little research has been conducted into the ways in which communication skills can be, and are, taught within institutions. Led by Helen Reid, this presentation and panel discussion draws on the results of a new research project at the Guildhall School to explore how communication finds its place in teaching and learning at the School as seen through the eyes of students and teaching staff.


Friday 4 April • 7pm

Liszt and Literature

Paul Roberts and postgraduate students explore the literary sources behind many of Liszt’s greatest piano works. The presentation will include pieces from Harmonies poétiques et religieuses and readings from Lamartine.


Saturday 1 March • 10.30am – 4.30pm

Composers, Performers and their Audiences: exploring dialogue and interaction

A day conference exploring innovations in composer-performer-audience relations. It includes findings from the audience engagement project based around two Britten Sinfonia concerts at Milton Court, from both artist and audience perspective, plus presentations on relevant artistic and research initiatives from the Guildhall School and elsewhere.

What they say…“Make no mistake, in Milton Court London has a hall to rival the finest anywhere in the world.”

BBC Music Magazine online, September 2013, on the opening of Milton Court

“London has suddenly gained a new concert hall and two theatres. More specifically, the Guildhall School of Music & Drama has acquired the sort of facilities… that catapult it into the ranks of the world’s best-equipped arts conservatoires... Oh to be a student again.”

The Times, September 2013, on the opening of Milton Court

“For the [Guildhall School] and its students, Milton Court is already a winner; if its potential is realised, a much bigger London public will have reason to celebrate as well.”

The Guardian, Tom Service’s blog, September 2013, on the opening of Milton Court

“One of the most prestigious music and drama schools in the UK and a play from one of the most influential playwrights from the nineteenth century: Final year actors at Guildhall School of Music & Drama have presented a version of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull of the highest quality.”

A Younger Theatre, October 2013, on The Seagull

“The future of opera looks safe in the hands of these young singers.”

What’s On Stage, November 2013, on Debussy’s L’enfant prodigue and Donizetti’s Francesca di Foix

“The concert was greeted with cheers and whistles of a magnitude you don’t expect at a contemporary music recital – this more-than-welcome change of convention was proof of various things, including the youth of the audience and the huge popularity of Adès… if this is the future of classical music, it’s actually pretty exciting. And if Milton Court can keep its standards high, then this will be the place to be.”

Bachtrack, November 2013, on Thomas Adès & Friends (Alumni Recital Series)

On TwitterAnother extraordinary experience @guildhallschool tonight. #beethoven 9 in the new #miltoncourt concert hall. Blooming marvellous!

Extraordinary evening last night in @guildhallschool Milton Court. Adès & Friends – unbelievable music and playing.

The Chekhov was brilliant, bold and moving @guildhallschool

Double whammy day of Chekhov @guildhallschool. Excellent, excellent stuff from the appallingly talented 3rd years. Building not bad either.

Delighted to discover the beautiful #MiltonCourtTheatre @guildhallschool Bravo to cast & crew of #JourneyingBoys

Two outstanding #Chekhov plays in the top class theatres #MiltonCourt @guildhallschool A privilege to witness superb acting debuts all round.

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous Donizetti opera @guildhallschool tonight. Amazing singing matched by witty, delightful production. Bravo all!

@guildhallschool A wonderful opera double-bill of Debussy & Donizetti, the latter a comic gem with inspired staging & beautiful singing

It was a joy to see the fabulous Dame Cleo Laine and the Dankworth family perform with the @guildhallschool big band tonight!
