I’m delighted to welcome you to the 2015 concerts and events
programme at Dartington International Summer School.
By day, we run classes and courses where tomorrow’s young
musical stars listen, learn, participate and socialise with
music-lovers of all ages and backgrounds. In the early evening,
Dartington transforms into a concert hall: we throw open the
doors of the magnificent medieval Great Hall, and present
concerts of all kinds of music, for everyone. From opera, jazz,
string quartets, solo recitals, music theatre, poetry, illustrated
lectures, Brazilian rhythms, gospel, film music and choral music,
there’s a vibrant sequence of live music events throughout the
whole month of August, and a really festive atmosphere.
There are up to three concerts each night; you can enjoy worldclass performances by world-famous musicians, in the beautiful
setting of Dartington’s wonderful grounds. Come and join us!
Joanna MacGregor Artistic Director
Week
This week’s concerts
encompass the boldness of
the early pioneering world.
With stirring choral music from
Mexico and Bolivia, hauntingly
beautiful viol works tracing
the journey of Francis Drake’s
The Golden Hinde and Carolyn
Sampson’s witty The History
of the World in Seventeen and
a Half Songs, early music also
encircles poetry, jazz and
improvisation. The performance
poet Alice Oswald retells, with
music, the myth of Tithonus,
Marina Warner dazzles us with
medieval fairy tales, and funky
jazz trumpeter Eric Vloeimans
explores tango, John Dowland
and Bulgarian dance.
01 – 08 August
Music inspired by botany and
ecology curls its gentle tendrils
throughout the week, and The
City Musick recreates pageants
and revels from the court of
Henry VIII. Joanna MacGregor
performs the Goldberg
Variations, and The Big Choir
stage Tallis’s equally iconic
Spem in Alium in the round:
an incredible, uplifting wall
of sound and majesty.

Week
Folk music and Baroque style
are the themes of this week’s
concerts. The magnificent
Kathryn Tickell brings her new
band The Side to Dartington,
and folk music pops up in
Mhairi Lawson and Andrew
Watts’ vocal recitals. Venetian
music – glitteringly virtuoso
chamber sonatas, and Vivaldi’s
dramatic, semi-staged opera
Catone in Utica – balance out
intimate, late-night recitals
of the complete French Suites
and Cello Suites of Bach.
08 – 15 August
The wondrous Emma Kirkby
leads A Quiet Revolution of
early classical lieder, and
there’s an illustrated lecture
on poetry and silence, as well
as readings entwined in
amongst music. At the end of
the week, Laurence Cummings
conducts the Dartington
Baroque Orchestra in a feast
of Charpentier, Handel and
Rameau; and don’t forget
your dancing shoes, for the
Final Night ceilidh.

subjects – late Schubert, Liszt,
and the ups and downs of
the pianist’s life. The music
programme has plenty of
Schubert too, from piano
sonatas to his sublime String
Quintet, with an array of superb
soloists (the cellist Adrian
Brendel, violinist Madeleine
Mitchell, pianist Steven
Osborne) and the brilliant
Heath Quartet. South American
music and dance also weaves
its way through the week,
with Piazzolla tangos and
the incredible Brazilian
percussionist Adriano Adewale.
15 – 22 August
Music Theatre takes over too
– with two performances of
Brecht and Weill’s greatest
hits (Alabama Song, Bilbao

and Poulenc’s dramatic La

discovered these pieces. Why have
they now become so particularly
cherished? What had kept them
away from us until a few decades
ago? What are their distinguishing
features? And are these works,
conceived so close to Schubert’s
death, really documents of a
musical farewell?’ Alfred Brendel

instrument – it demonstrates what
this instrument actually is about,
namely to be a tool subordinate
to the music in all technical and
pianistic matters… Liszt reaches
for the sacred, for the elements,
for the spheres.’ Alfred Brendel

Week
Jazz, film and contemporary
music are the themes this
week. The titanic saxophonist
Andy Sheppard solos in two
great jazz concerts, bringing
his inimitable brand of cool
to Dartington, while the great
pianist and presenter Neil
Brand entertains and amazes
us with music for silent film. We
present the greatest silent love
film ever made, Sunrise, with
music by Joanna MacGregor
and Andy Sheppard, and Mira
Calix presents a multimedia
concert with live mixing and
visuals with thrilling
contemporary music.
22 – 29 August
There’s plenty here for
classical lovers too, with a
Russian theme ranging from
Rachmaninov and Scriabin
to Schnittke: two brilliant
young Piano Trios, virtuoso
pianist Veronika Shoot and
an amazing late-night choral
concert inspired by Russian
Orthodox music. Big romantic
opera is back: don’t miss the
Prologue from Mussorsgky’s
epic Boris Godunov, as well
as a complete performance
of Tchaikovsky’s tragic
masterpiece Eugene Onegin.
