In June 2009 Francis Pott attended a
performance of his ‘Cello Sonata at the
Mananan Arts Festival in Port Erin, Isle of Man.
Intrigued by the mysterious Milner Tower on
Bradda Head, guarding the entrance to the
bay, he walked up to it on a blustery summer’s
day. By the time he returned, the ideas for a
companion sonata for viola and piano had
come into being. Not long before this, the
Japanese-born, London-based violist Yuko
Inoue had visited LCM to give a recital and
master class, and had spontaneously requested
that Francis consider writing her a piece. The
Sonata which eventually resulted from this is a
sweepingly romantic half-hour work embodying
the composer’s response to the South-Western
coastline of Man and, in particular, to two of the
various towers dotted along its length: Milner
Tower and Corrin’s Tower, a commemorative
folly with a tragic history, situated on the cliffs
above Peel, Man’s only cathedral city. The
Sonata is paired on disc with Einzige Tage
[‘Unique Days’], a cycle featuring song settings
inspired by the Russian poets Boris Pasternak
and Anna Akhmatova. Commissioned in 2010
as a gift to Simon Phillips and his recital partner,
the Ukrainian-born soprano Alla Kravchuk, the
songs set these poems in German translations, a
reflection of Alla’s years as a successful soloist in
Germany and of widespread German interest in
the poetic legacy of Pasternak and Akhmatova.
The CD launch recital will feature four of the
nine songs and the Viola Sonata complete.
The CD will be available on EM Records
and will soon be available via their website

Haydn String Quartet in E flat Op. 33 No. 2.
“The Joke”. Shostakovich String Quartet No.
8 Op. 110 in C minor
The extremes of expression and style are
represented by these two major string
quartets. Haydn’s sunny “Joke” quartet
epitomises the early Classical style of
string quartet writing while Shostakovich’s
dramatically dark emotional work, written
nearly 180 years later, is imbued with
personal sorrow and deep meaning.

Tina Vinson (piano)
This recital features works by composers
who were involved in concerts promoting
‘American’ music during the 1930s by the
Pan American Association of Composers.
Tina has selected music focusing on some of
the Latin American composers in this society,
Heitor Villa-Lobos (Brazil), Amadeo Roldan
(Cuba), Alejandro Garcia Caturla (Cuba) and
Carlos Chavez (Mexico). All these composers
wrote music that was stylistically linked to
their own countries and many consider this
effort to be an attempt to ‘break away’ from
European tradition to create an independent
musical identity associated with their
respective countries.

Jonathan Snowden LCM Live Celebrity Recital
4 March 2015, 7pm, Lawrence Hall
Jonathan Snowden is one of Britain's premier
solo flautists. He was named Principal Flute of
the English National Opera North Orchestra
at age 21. He was then appointed to the same
post with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and
was subsequently principal flute in the London
Philharmonic Orchestra and the Philharmonia
Orchestra. His thrilling sound and technical
virtuosity are admired here and abroad, and he
has been described as "one of the most brilliant
flautists of his generation."
He has played concertos all over the world and
has been a guest first flute with many orchestras
abroad, particularly in America. Here in the UK
he is now much in demand by composers to
record their film scores. His recording list, includes
amongst others: Batman, Lord of the Rings, Sense
and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Don Juan,
Tomb Raider, The Mummy, Bridget Jones Diary,
Gangs of New York, and Sponge Bob Square
Pants.
As a teacher, Jonathan has a unique view on how
players can link technique to communication and
interpretation. He aims to improve performance
by nurturing a flexible flute player capable of
taking risks. A more powerful conversation
can then exist between the soloist, supporting
musicians and audience.
Pan magazine describes one of his classes:
"dynamic and inspirational, conducting the class
with energy and sheer enthusiasm. Each student
was encouraged to look deeper into themselves
and their music, exploring the many possibilities
of dynamic range and colour. Most of all, people
came away feeling inspired, encouraged and
fulfilled and surely that's what music is all about."
In 2012 Jonathan took up the post of Professor
of Flute at the University of Shenandoah,
Virginia, USA.

English Chamber Orchestra Ensemble
The English Chamber Orchestra has been
described by the American radio network
CPRN as "one of the world's greatest 'living'
orchestras". LCM has been working hand-inhand with the ECO to create an Ensemble-inResidence made up from leading members
of the orchestra. This partnership offers
our talented classical music students the
unrivalled opportunity to work closely
with ECO musicians in performance and
composition workshops, to participate
in side-by-side rehearsals and orchestral
coaching, and to benefit from a series of
eight master classes given by the orchestra's
musicians. There will also be a celebrity
lunchtime recital given by the ECO Ensemble
String Quartet featuring works by Haydn and
Shostakovich on the 25th February.
16
The English Chamber Orchestra is the most
recorded chamber orchestra in the world,
its discography containing 860 recordings
of over 1,500 works by more than 400
composers. The ECO has also performed in
more countries than any other orchestra, and
played with many of the world’s greatest
musicians. The illustrious history of the
orchestra features many major musical
figures. Benjamin Britten was the orchestra’s
first Patron and a significant musical influence.

Alvin Moisey was hailed by The Times as
a “pistol-packing pianist” after his 1987
South Bank debut, a prescient epithet
given a subsequent career which has often
landed him in some of the world's hottest
spots. He has performed outdoors on the
Israeli-Lebanese border during a Hizbollah
rocket attack, broadcast live from the Golan
Heights in the shadow of the Syrian army,
and appeared on breakfast TV in Kuwait,
only later to find his hotel requisitioned by the
U.S. military in preparation for the invasion
of Iraq. A coup attempt in Muscat in 1994
was inconveniently scheduled for the same
evening as his performance of Gershwin's
Rhapsody in Blue for the Sultan of Oman.
In between such adventures he has trotted
the globe as both concerto soloist and
chamber musician, appearing at New York's
Carnegie Recital Hall, Tel-Aviv Opera House,
the Louvre museum in Paris and concert halls
in Taiwan and Japan, as well as performing
regularly at London's Purcell Room, Queen
Elizabeth Hall, Wigmore Hall and St. John's
Smith Square. In recent years he has worked
alongside such distinguished artists as the
violinists Shlomo Mintz, Ida Haendel and
Sayaka Shoji, appearing with them in concert
halls in London, Geneva, Tokyo and Tel-Aviv.

Band of The Coldstream Guards and LCM Camerata
5 March 2014, 7.30pm, St Marys Church
Programme to include Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue performed by Emilie Capulet (piano)
Major Darren Wolfendale – Director of Music,
says: “The LCM has a great reputation for
standards which is shared by the Band of The
Coldstream Guards. It is a great opportunity
for us to work alongside musicians who are
working hard to prepare for a career in music.
The band’s musicians are graduates from
all over the country but many come from
London and, if there is an opportunity to help
other musicians along the way, they are more
than happy to do so.”
22
The Coldstream Regiment was formed in
1650 by George Monck, a General in Oliver
Cromwell's "New Model Army" and can
therefore claim to be one of the oldest
regiments in the world.
In 1661, shortly after the restoration of the
monarchy, they were re-commissioned by
King Charles II as Household Troops and from
the town of Coldstream which lies just inside
Scotland near Berwick-Upon-Tweed where it
was first formed.
From the earliest days the Regiment had
drummers and a "Band of Music" from 1742.
This was in fact eight civilian musicians who
were hired by the month by Officers of the
Regiment to provide music for the Changing
of the Guard at St. James' Palace.

the Last Post at St Symphorien Aug 14
Live Performances
The band spends a large proportion of
its time engaged in support to State and
ceremonial duties in London which range
from mounting Guard at Buckingham Palace
to playing during State visits and other high
profile engagements. In recent times the
band has travelled to Switzerland, Germany,
Belgium, France and a performed concert
tour to Japan. Other major events include the
Queen's Diamond Jubilee, London Olympics,
Trooping the Colour, Cenotaph, Festival of
Remembrance, Household Division Beating
Retreat to name but a few. In 2014 the band
has been heavily committed to events to
commemorate the start of WW1.

THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
22 – 25 April 2015
Watermans Theatre
For Tickets Visit www.watermans.org.uk
Six young people in the throes of puberty,
overseen by grown-ups who barely managed
to escape childhood themselves, learn that
winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t
necessarily make you a loser.
THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY
SPELLING BEE is a hilarious tale of overachievers’
angst chronicling the experience of six
adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling
championship of a lifetime. The show’s Tony
Award winning creative team has created the
unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of
heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders
for whom a spelling bee is the one place where
they can stand out and fit in at the same time.

Conceived by Rebecca Feldman
Additional Material by Jay Reiss
Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine
Originally produced on Broadway by
David Stone, James L. Nederlander, Barbara Whitman,
Patrick Catullo, Barrington Stage Company, Second Stage
Theatre
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with
JOSEF WEINBERGER LIMITED on behalf of MUSIC THEATRE
INTERNATIONAL of New York
Based upon C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-E, an original play by The
Farm. The Barrington Stage Company workshop of the 25th
ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE was originally
co-directed by Michael Barakiva and Rebecca Feldman
Musical Theatre
The Farm was founded in 2000 by Rebecca
Feldman, Artistic Director. It is a collective of
writers and performers, including Jay Reiss,
Dan Fogler and Sarah Saltzberg. The Farm’s
interest is in the role of improvisation in
creating new work for the theatre. The Farm
initially designates a two-week intensive period
in which to discover, develop and rehearse a
play from the impulses borne mainly out of
the pressure of a deadline. Previous projects
include “Super” (at Atlantic Theatre Studios),
“Why I hate Florida” (workshop at White Wave
in DUMBO) and “C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-E” at the
present company Theatorium in October
2002), on which “The 25th Annual Putnam
County Spelling Bee” is based. The character
and original dialogue of “Beth Marguiles”, “Vice
President Douglas Panch”, “Mr. Barfee” and
“Logan Schwarzengrubenierre” were created
by Rebecca Feldman, Jay Reiss, Dan Fogler and
Sarah Saltzberg respectively.

SATURDAY NIGHT
29 April – 2 May 2015
Watermans Theatre
For Tickets Visit www.watermans.org.uk
In 1953, Saturday Night was to mark the
Broadway debut of a young, new writer,
Stephen Sondheim. Owing to the death
of the original producer, Saturday Night’s
New York opening was delayed some 47
years! But now it’s here, brimming with all
the charm and youthful vitality of a talent
blossoming into greatness. Saturday Night
tells the unassuming story of a group of
Brooklyn boys trying to make good in the
stock market in 1929. Unfortunately, one of
them, Gene, is so eager to climb the social
ladder and impress his sweetheart, he invests

In this recital Crispian will perform pieces by
Purcell, Handel, Haydn and Mozart, as well as a
suite from Bernstein’s West Side Story for which
the pianist was today’s artist, Leslie Pearson,
when the musical’s London opening took place
in 1959; subsequently he took over as the
show’s musical director.
For the afternoon master class, Crispian, known
for his flexibility on the trumpet, will bring with
him regular orchestral trumpets in Bb, Eb, piccolo
trumpet, baroque trumpet, natural trumpet,
keyed trumpet, slide trumpet and Flügelhorn.
38
Crispian Steele-Perkins began playing the
trumpet at the age of 10 and, after training
at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in
London, he became a member of Sadlers Wells
Opera, the Royal Philharmonic and the English
Chamber Orchestra. As a soloist Crispian has
received worldwide critical acclaim spanning
more than four decades for his artistic subtlety
and the purity of his tone. Crispian collects and
restores antique trumpets, upon which he has
performed and recorded with The Academy
of Ancient Music, The King’s Consort and The
English Baroque Soloists. He plays the theme
tune to one of the BBC’s longest-running
and most popular TV programmes, Antiques
Roadshow. Described by Virtuoso magazine as
‘the world's leading exponent of the Baroque
Trumpet’, particularly when heard in duet with
some of the world's greatest singers such as
Kiri te Kanawa, Emma Kirkby, John Tomlinson
and Bryn Terfel, Crispian has also recorded
with popular artists including Led Zeppelin,
Kate Bush, Lulu, Cliff Richard, Bob Geldof and
Harry Secombe. In addition, he has performed
Leslie Pearson is one of Britain’s most
distinguished keyboard players. On the
concert platform and in commercial studios
his performances and compositions have
entertained millions – most famously in the
film Four Weddings and a Funeral, the TV series
Dr Who, Poirot and Lovejoy. He regularly played
at Buckingham Palace for the late Queen
Mother and HRH Prince Charles, in whose recent
wedding he also participated. Leslie was official
keyboard player for the Philharmonia Orchestra
for 40 years under Klemperer, Karijan, Muti and
Rattle. His playing has received critical acclaim,
particularly in Muti’s recording of Handel’s
Water Music with the Berlin Philharmonic, and
in Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with Henryk Szeryng,
Gidon Kremer and Itzak Perlman also in many
collaborations with Crispian Steele-Perkins
including ‘The English Trumpet’, ‘The Regent’s
Bugle’ and most recently the highly acclaimed
‘The Music of Gershwin”and "Movie Classics’.
Master Classes and Workshops
numerous TV scores for shows including,
amongst many others, Dr Who, Oliver Twist,
The World at War, Inspector Morse and Tales of
the Unexpected. In the world of film, Crispian’s
playing can be heard on more than 80 classic
scores such as Jaws, Gandhi, Star Wars – Episode
IV, Batman, Monty Python’s Life of Brian, Lord of
the Rings – The Two Towers and no fewer than
six films from the James Bond series. Whilst his
numerous solo recordings extend from Handel
to Glenn Miller, he has featured regularly as a
concert soloist in London at the Royal Albert Hall
and the Royal Festival Hall, New York’s Carnegie
Hall, Boston’s Symphony Hall, Sydney Opera
House and Tokyo’s Suntory Hall. His largest

Master Classes and Workshops
Robin Holloway
Composers’ Workshop
19 March 2015, 4 – 6pm, TC272
Robin Holloway was a lecturer in music
at Cambridge University for 32 years
between 1975 and 2011, teaching a
generation of composers including
Judith Weir and Thomas Adés.
His works of the 1960s show a modernist
stance, culminating in the First Concerto for
Orchestra (completed 1969). This attitude has
remained one strand of Holloway’s thought
as demonstrated by such works as Evening
with Angels (1972), the much acclaimed
Second Concerto for Orchestra (1979), and two
works written for the London Sinfonietta, Aria
(1979-80) and the Double Concerto (1987-88).
42
A complementary and more controversial side of
Holloway’s musical nature grew out of his study
of language, style and quotation for his doctoral
thesis Debussy and Wagner. This has led in many
works to a radical liaison with Romanticism and
tonality, as in Scenes from Schumann (1969-70),
the opera Clarissa (1976) premiered in 1990 at
English National, and Seascape and Harvest
(1983-4) composed for the City of Birmingham
Symphony Orchestra. A more relaxed side of
the same endeavour can be seen in a series
of serenade and divertimento-type pieces for
differing chamber ensembles.
The Holloway discography includes premiere
recordings of the Second and Third Concertos
for Orchestra on NMC, the former winning the
1994 Gramophone Contemporary Record of
Master Classes and Workshops
the Year Award. Two volumes of Holloway’s
collected writings, Essays and Diversions, were
published in 2003 and 2008.
Works composed during the 1990s included
Scenes from Antwerp, Clarissa Sequence for
soprano and orchestra commissioned by the
San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, and his first
Symphony, premiered by the BBC Symphony
Orchestra at the 2000 BBC Proms.
New works written over the past decade
include a Fourth Concerto for Orchestra
premiered by the San Francisco Symphony
in 2007, RELIQUARY, incorporating music by
Schumann for the 2010 BBC Proms, and a
Fifth Concerto for Orchestra premiered at the
BBC Proms in 2011. 2013 brought premieres
in Beijing and San Francisco, with a new
orchestral work in China resulting from an
invitation to visit the country as part of the
Composing China project.

Bloco LCM
Bloco LCM
Bloco LCM is a group open to all students and staff
throughout the University, playing Brazilian music
associated with carnival. No previous experience is
necessary, only a good spirit of getting stuck in! It takes
as its inspiration the samba schools and Blocos of Rio de
Janeiro during carnival each February. The Bloco performs
regularly in the University and around the area, and is also
involved with work in local schools so that members can
learn, and be part of teaching this fantastic vibrant music
in a workshop context.
The Bloco has played at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, as
a flash mob of 50 drummers at Westfield, and at local
carnivals in Acton and Greenford. A few Bloco members
played for the flag handover to Rio 2016 at the closing
ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
