WELCOME TO A NEW AUTUMN
SEASON AT THE RCM!
A rich variety of music and events feature this autumn at the Royal College of
Music, reflecting the vibrant and multi-faceted culture that you can experience
here. A number of themes run through the programmes, including a focus on
Beethoven and Richard Strauss.
Contemporary music features highly, and we are delighted to be welcoming
Steve Reich to a concert of his music in our Britten Theatre, and the conferment
of an honorary doctorate. Brett Dean, as our composer in residence, leads
programmes of contemporary music from his homeland. Other special concerts
include a performance of Michael Gordon's Timber with PERC'M and the Aurora
Orchestra, iconic works by Stockhausen, Cage and Varèse, and the remarkable
music of Romitelli.
The life hereafter is thrillingly evoked in Mahler's great ‘Resurrection’ Symphony,
and we welcome back RCM alumnus Andrew Gourlay to lead our Symphony
Orchestra and Chorus. Also featuring in this concert is the music of William
Lloyd Webber, former student and composition professor at the Royal College of
Music, in this his anniversary year. Themes of death and resurrection also
feature in the RCM Chamber Choir's diverse programme, ‘Paradise’.
We introduce a new series this autumn, Chamber Essentials, featuring classic
works from the repertoire. And we bring new insights into Beethoven's
celebrated op 131 string quartet in an innovative performance led by cellist
Richard Lester. There is a further focus in String Week, with Pinchas Zukerman,
the RCM String Band and the welcome return of the String Quartet Collective.
Historical Performance is one of the cornerstones of our
programmes, and we are delighted to host both Vittorio Ghielmi
and the viol consort Fretwork once again at the International
Festival of Viols, now in its eighth successful year. We are
also pleased to welcome our ensemble in residence,
Florilegium, to a concert of Bach, Rebel, Marais and
Telemann in the intimate surroundings of the Britten Theatre.
Masterclasses from Sarah Connolly, Emanuel Ax and
Julian Lloyd Webber; a day of discovery of Richard Strauss songs;
a celebration of Great British Dance Bands; and to round off the
year, Mozart's fabulous opera of love and symbolism, The Magic
Flute. These and many more are the highlights of our autumn
season, and we look forward to welcoming you.

RCM War Memorial
TUESDAY 30 SEPTEMBER 2014 – FRIDAY 27 MARCH 2015
The RCM and WW1
RCM Museum of Music
To mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, this special
exhibition in the RCM Museum of Music pays tribute to the work of RCM
students and staff during those years.
Many RCM students enlisted: some, such as Butterworth, did not return;
others, such as Gurney, never recovered from their experiences. Happily,
many others did come back to forge musical careers. The exhibition also
highlights other war work, from nursing to fundraising and charitable
concerts held at home and abroad, and shows how life went on at the RCM
during the war years.
The RCM Museum of Music is open Tuesday to Friday (11.30am – 4.30pm)
and is free to visit.

Beethoven String Quartet in C sharp minor op 131
This fascinating event promises to shed light on the innermost workings of
the string quartet. In the first half, Adrian Bradbury explains how musicians
in a quartet make millisecond timing corrections to stay together. Analysis
of these adjustments reveals the group’s hierarchy, with ‘followers’
adjusting to ‘leaders’. After the interval find out how this translates into
performance, as four string quartets come together for a performance of
Beethoven’s late String Quartet in C sharp minor, led by cellist Richard Lester.

New Perspectives
“Real composers have two
moments of fame. The first
comes when they’re young
and fashionable, the second
when they’re venerable
masters. Steve Reich,
amazingly, combines the two.
He’s both achingly hip and a
grand old man”
Steve Reich Clapping Music
Double Sextet
Different Trains
We’re delighted to announce that this autumn Steve Reich
himself will be visiting the RCM.
On Sunday 12 October at the Southbank Centre, the Colin
Currie Group will be giving the world premiere of Reich’s
Quartet for 2 vibraphones & 2 pianos. Ahead of this
performance, Reich will be our very special guest at the
RCM on Wednesday 8 October for a celebration of his
life and work.
Ivan Hewett, The Daily Telegraph
To start proceedings, Steve Reich will be awarded the rare
and prestigious accolade of an honorary doctorate from
the RCM, recognising his outstanding contribution to
international musical life. He will then join forces
with RCM Head of Percussion David Hockings
– who as principal percussionist with the London
Sinfonietta has worked with Reich many times
– for a performance of the iconic Clapping Music.
The concert also features Grammy Award-winning
Different Trains – Reich’s ground-breaking and often
haunting combination of recorded voices, sound effects
and live music – and his exuberant 2007 work Double
Sextet, winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Music.
Don’t miss this chance to see one of the great
composers of our time.

To open our autumn orchestral season the RCM Philharmonic presents

Concerto in E minor – the final large orchestral work he wrote in his
short life.
To perform what is widely considered to be one of the greatest violin
concertos of all time will be violinist Naoka Aoki,
winner of the RCM’s Concerto Competition for a
second year.
Opening the concert is the brooding Egmont

Mahler’s mighty and enormously popular Symphony no 2 forms the

of orchestra, chorus and two vocal soloists, the symphony takes audiences
on an epic musical and spiritual journey in the course of its five contrasting
movements: a funeral march; a simple folk dance; a dramatic scherzo; a
song; and the choral finale, featuring the words “Rise again, yes,
rise again!”
The symphony is preceded by an enormous treat: a rare performance of the
sensuous tone poem Aurora by William Lloyd Webber, former student and
professor at the RCM, whose centenary we are celebrating this year.

Brett Dean in Residence
Conductor, composer, violist… This autumn we’re thrilled to welcome the
multi-talented Brett Dean to the RCM for a very special series of events.
Dean himself has curated three concerts, showcasing more than a
century of Australian music, from Percy Grainger’s whimsical 1902 work
for three pianists seated at one piano, right through to James Ledger’s
2011 heartfelt tribute to Anton Webern and John Lennon.
Also including some of Dean’s very own captivating compositions,
this festival promises to be a highlight of the London autumn season.

“Michael Rosewell and the student orchestra
produced one of the best all-round orchestral Mozart
performances I’ve heard anywhere for a long time,
and six assured young singers struck sparks
off each other in an intelligent, observant and
good-looking production.”
– Opera Now on the RCM’s production of Così fan tutte
One of the best-loved works in the operatic repertoire
makes a welcome return to the RCM. The power struggle
between Sarastro and The Queen of the Night and the
trials and tribulations of Tamino, Pamina
and Pagageno are illuminated by some of
Mozart’s most enchanting music, which
never fails to delight.
Previous RCM productions of Die Zauberflöte
have featured the likes of Janis Kelly,
Rosemary Joshua, Andrew Kennedy and,
most recently, Sarah-Jane Brandon.
Find out which of this year’s group of
talented performers will join them on the
road to operatic stardom.

Romitelli Professor Bad Trip
"Ever since I was born, I have been immersed in digitalised images,
synthetic sounds, artefacts. Artificial, distorted, filtered – this is the nature
of man today" – Fausto Romitelli
Taking its title from the stage name of Italian artist Gianluca Lerici and
inspired by the hallucinatory writings of Henri Michaux, Fausto Romitelli’s
Professor Bad Trip stands as a 40-minute kaleidoscopic dream sequence, a
phantasmal ceremony that fuses two ostensibly unrelated sound worlds:
the electric guitar of psychedelic rock and the modernism of Franco
Donatoni and Gérard Grisey.
On the 10th anniversary of Romitelli’s tragic early death, join
explorensemble in a celebration of his life and work, as the concert space
becomes a portal to strange, hallucinatory worlds…

Michael Gordon Timber
This unique performance is simply not to be missed.
A disciple of Steve Reich and a co-founder of the iconic “Bang on a Can”
festival and ensemble, Michael Gordon is one of the most popular
composers in the US today. His 2009 work Timber, simply scored for six
tuned blocks of wood (which each ensemble has to make for their own
performance) is a mesmeric exploration of timbre and energy, and has
quickly become a modern classic.
