Welcome
Keith Chegwin
to the Jan – Apr 2015 Anvil Arts Events Brochure
The Ghost Train, one of the most popular comedy thrillers ever
written, steams into The Haymarket in a brand new production and a cast familiar from stage and television. There’s comedy with
Alan Ayckbourn’s Table Manners from the Norman Conquests trilogy,
and excitement with the tense murder mystery Stone Cold Dead.
Our younger audience will love the mischievous anarchy of The Cat
in the Hat, as well as the more gentle tale of The Snail and the Whale.
There’s a new production of Much Ado About Nothing, and a packed
programme of one night music.
Katy Ashworth
At The Anvil, you can enjoy bands from Nils Lofgren to The Levellers,
comedy from Dara O Briain to Henning Wehn, dance from the
Russian State Ballet to Brendan Cole and music written from 1777
(OAE, 6 February) to last year (Bang on a Can All-Stars, 8 March).
With our Philharmonia Orchestra concert for schools, Orchestra
Unwrapped, the OAE Tots concerts for those taking their first steps
into music and our large-scale schools project One Hundred Years
On, we’re looking after the next generation of audiences too.

The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus
The Basingstoke and North Hampshire

Based on the book by L Frank Baum, author of The Wizard of Oz, this exciting story follows the early life of Santa Claus from being adopted by the wood-nymphs, through to making and delivering the very first toys.
Meet the original reindeer Glossie and Flossie as well as the chilly rogue Jack Frost and find out the answer to lots of Christmas questions! Why do
we hang stockings? When was the first Christmas tree? And why on earth
does Santa climb down the chimney?

Diego Matheuz conductor
Mussorgsky’s spine-tingling
depiction of a witches’ Sabbath
is one of his most successful tone
poems. Tchaikovsky wrote his
Violin Concerto while on a trip
to Switzerland after his ill-fated
marriage had broken up. He found
a sense of renewal that meant
the work went well, writing in a
letter: “In such a frame of mind,
composition loses all sense of labour;
it is pure bliss.” Rimsky-Korsakov’s
orchestral suite takes tales from the
Arabian Nights and dresses them
in gorgeous, inventive orchestral
colours to make a dramatic and
satisfying work. Conductor Diego
Matheuz trained under the famous
El Sistema in his native Venezuela.
“He creates the impression
that everything flows out of his
violin spontaneously. His whole
performance was out of this world.”

Jeffrey Holland
Arnold Ridley’s classic comedy thriller is about a group of travellers
(including a newlywed couple, an estranged couple, a self-indulgent
young dandy and an elderly spinster with a parrot) stranded in the
waiting room of an isolated railway station on a dark and stormy night.
They react with various degrees of credulity to the station master’s
warning of death to anyone who sets eyes on the ghostly train that
haunts the line. After the huge success of this play in the 1920s, author Arnold Ridley found fame all over again playing Private Godfrey
in Dad’s Army.

on-stage presence like no other,
his exuberance, spontaneity and
cerebral style have established
him as one of Britain’s best-loved

uses an infinite imagination and
plenty of tomfoolery, which is sure
to have audiences in fits of laughter.
TICKETS: £26
It is the grandest and most
sumptuous of all Mozart’s wind
serenades but we have no idea for what occasion the piece which
opens this concert was written. Used in a crucial scene in the film Amadeus, this is one of the
composer’s most inspired works.
Mysliveček, the greatest Czech
composer of the eighteenth century,
was a friend of the young Mozart,
who described his music as full of
“fire, spirit and life”. His wind music,
drawing on the expert traditions of
his native Bohemia, is well worth
hearing. The Viennese aristocracy of
Mozart’s time loved to have wind
band arrangements played at all
sorts of social occasions, and the selection of music from Don
Giovanni is a delight.

Leon McCawley piano

Shostakovich’s music for an
unconventional stage production of Hamlet was a product of the
exciting artistic ferment that
followed the Russian Revolution.
Dramatically powerful music sits
alongside more satirical and lighthearted numbers in this suite from
the full score. Tchaikovsky’s concerto
set the pattern for many future
pieces with its confrontation
between heroic soloist and eloquent
orchestra. Shostakovich sidestepped
expectations with his Ninth
symphony. Expecting a triumphant
epic to celebrate the end of the war,
what the composer described as the
‘light and sunny mood’ of this short
five movement piece nonplussed

Ravel’s delicate and touching
evocation of fairy-tales opens this

landscape of Paris around World
War I. Ravel’s concerto shows
the composer responding to the
constraints of using only one hand
on the piano with imaginative
orchestral colouring and rhythmic
subtlety. Stravinsky’s first big

ballet score based on a Russian
folk tale in which the young hero
overcomes a fierce demon with the
protection of a magic feather from
the fabled firebird.

Reading Between the Lines present
by William Shakespeare
‘O God that I were a man! ‘
Our boys have returned home
from war. The real battle, however,
is only just beginning - the war of
the sexes. This physically bold and
barnstorming production will throw
into focus the battle between man
and woman, whilst celebrating the
glorious fun of this stunning play.
Brendan Cole
Directed by Hal Chambers and
featuring a rollicking score, this is
a modern and bombastic version
of the bard’s classic comedy
from Reading Between the Lines,
“Reading’s premier professional
theatre company” (Reading Post).

Brahms Violin Concerto
Dvořák Symphony no. 9 (From the
New World)
Viktoria Mullova violin
Adam Fischer conductor
The effervescent overture to
Smetana’s most well-known
opera opens this concert in style.
Brahms’ violin concerto is built on
a symphonic scale, to the point
where the original version had the
four movements traditional for that
form. Brahms replaced the middle
two with one of his most beautiful
adagios, and the finale is a vigorous
Hungarian dance. Dvorak’s most
famous symphony, written in
America while filled with longing
for his Czech homeland, has an
apparently inexhaustible flow of
melodies, with a justly famous slow
movement at its heart.
This award-winning production
takes you on a musical journey
through the career of one of
the most successful bands ever
– Frankie Valli and the Four
Seasons. From their beginnings
in the early 50s, the spectacular
show takes you through their hits
including Grease, Bye Bye Baby, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, Working

Cry and of course, Let’s Hang On.

A great double bill of emerging
talent. Irish musician Ben Glover’s
new record, Atlantic, was recorded
live in his childhood summer home
on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
A number of the songs were cowritten with Gretchen Peters and
Mary Gauthier and the result is
his finest offering yet. Sometimes
sorrowful, often hopeful, Angel
Snow’s music marries sweeping folk
melodies and bluesy guitar riffs.
Her career was kickstarted by Alison
Krauss who recorded three of her
songs, and she now works regularly
with Krauss’ writer/producer brother.

Peter Knight’s Gigspanner has been
hailed by Songlines magazine as
‘another milestone in folk’s rebirth
of cool’, although to classify these
three virtuoso performers purely as
folk musicians is to undersell them
by a long chalk.
After more than a decade in Britain,
the German Comedy Ambassador

Henning’s assimilation is not yet

she is well known on the music

A bedrock of British traditional music

Gigspanner’s musical reach flirts
with Eastern European, French,
Cajun, African and even Aboriginal
influences, transporting audiences
on a ‘blistering pace of a musical

Why does everybody want to be

You’ve only got yourself to blame

An Evening with
Gervase Phinn
Gervase Phinn has been touring
theatres across the country for
over ten years now as a hilarious
raconteur. The best-selling and
award-winning author, radio and TV personality really is at his best
and most exciting in front of a live audience.
His show will have you on the
edges of your seats as he shares his
hilarious and sometimes poignant
tales of life as a schools inspector in
the Yorkshire Dales. With his keen
ear for the absurd and sharp eye for
the ludicrous, Gervase Phinn has
been dubbed “the James Herriot
of schools” and has delighted
audiences all over the UK.
TICKETS: £18.50
Philharmonia Orchestra
Haydn Symphony no. 88
Beethoven Piano Concerto no. 5 (Emperor)
Nielsen S ymphony no. 4 (The Inextinguishable)
Martin Helmchen piano
Paavo Järvi conductor
Haydn’s symphony is a mature and impressive work, with playful fast
movements and a solemn and expressive Largo, in which trumpets and
drums make a sudden appearance. Beethoven’s last piano concerto is
his most brilliant and powerful. The two extrovert outer movements are
balanced by an inward-looking slow movement, which moves into the finale
with a simple but magical transition. The name of Nielsen’s symphony refers
to “the force of life which cannot be suppressed”. It pulsates with astonishing
musical power in the outer movements, which contrast with the more natureinspired inner two, before building to a radiant conclusion.
The Philharmonia Orchestra is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Partnership
Forever in Blue Jeans promises a
great night out for all the family. The talented cast of eight sing their
way through more than 80 classic
songs, from Brenda Lee to The
Carpenters and from Motown to
Abba. A whirlwind trip from the 50s
through to the best songs of today,
this “hot” stage show guarantees
all the hits, all the energy, all in one
great show.
