Thursday is a longer word than Tuesday, so
to accommodate it at the same size it has
to change to a condensed version of the
same Univers font.
Similar to the Tuesday Series logo but
inverting the motif. This seems to work well
as a companion piece to the Tuesday Series
logo for several reasons: it looks similar
but sufficiently different at a glance, it
completes the circle with Tuesday Series
as the other half and finally, by inverting
the semi circle the word Thursday sits in
the wider part of the circle so will fit in the
same size and style as the words ‘Tuesday
Series’ in the Tuesday Series logo.
An alternative version, presented as the
negative of Tuesday Series.

Malgorzata Garstka piano
Dr Roy Howat and Dr Emily Kilpatrick explore
creative responses to the First World War. From
contributions to relief efforts and tributes to lost
friends, to reflections on wartime circumstances, the
songs and piano music encompass patriotic fervour,
poignant laments and bitter musings on the loss of
innocence. At the heart is Debussy’s magnificent twopiano suite, En blanc et noir, as we mark the centenary
of his final flourish of compositional output.

The Royal Academy of Music is a full-time educational
institution. Every day during term-time, our students
work intensively with their tutors, professors, Visiting
Professors and other experts from across the
music profession.
This term the Strings Department is treated to an
impressive pageant of highly distinguished string
teachers and artists from ‘across the Pond’ — a series
of masterclasses by our American Summer Visitors.
We are delighted to welcome back Helen Callus from
the University of California, Santa Barbara, for a miniresidency which includes this masterclass, where she
works with our advanced viola students.
Most of our work takes place out of the public eye,
in an environment that enables our students to
experiment, to take risks and to explore their individual
creative identities. You can enjoy the end results of
these endeavours in all of our public performances.

When Nathan Milstein offered ‘invent anything’ as
his most fundamental advice for a young musician —
following it with the injunction entitled above — what
might he have meant and how might we respond?
This inaugural lecture marks the conferment in 2014
of University of London Professorship on Neil Heyde.
The Academy’s Head of Postgraduate Programmes
explores some of the models he has developed over the
last twenty years for an ‘inventive’ engagement with
our musical heritage through collaborative work with
composers, creative responses to texts and engagement
with great interpretative artists of the past.

Pete Churchill and Barak Schmool conductors
The Academy’s Jazz Department has been steadily
turning out some of the most acclaimed young
composers currently shaping the contemporary
scene. The celebrated jazz composition course
culminates with the final year students composing
for big band, and tonight you get a chance to hear
the premiere performances of these works
conducted by the Academy’s Professor of Jazz
Composition, Pete Churchill.
Under the direction of F-ire collective founder and
Academy Rhythmic Skills professor, Barak Schmool,
the Academy’s Jazz Department presents a fifteenpiece ensemble playing music from Cuba, Central
African Republic, Los Angeles, Banff, Exeter, the
playground and a special guest location: the mind
of György Ligeti.
To launch the first volume of the new Peters critical
edition (an AHRC-sponsored project based at the
Royal Academy of Music), editors Dr Roy Howat
and Dr Emily Kilpatrick join Academy singers and
pianists in a celebration of Fauré’s early songs. From
fresh manuscript versions of songs by the teenaged
composer to the magnificent Après un rêve, sung in
its original Tuscan, and the compelling triptych of his
Baudelaire settings, the evening illuminates the vigour,
wit, charm and assurance of the youthful Fauré.
Students perform a lively concert of mixed repertoire
— details will appear on the Academy’s website.

Byron’s 1817 ‘metaphysical drama’ of the same name
— which features supernatural themes in-keeping
with the popularity of ghost stories in England at the
time — and composed between his Fourth and Fifth
Symphonies, Tchaikovsky’s exuberant writing perfectly

Extravaganza in One Act’, Walton’s The Bear (1967)
focuses on the unlikely relationship between an
original operatic odd couple: Madam Popova, a rich,
self-indulgent widow who has turned grieving into an
art form, and local farmer, Smirnov, whose interest in
wild oats goes from selling to sowing!
Written in 1954, whilst he was Professor of
Composition at the Academy, Lennox Berkeley’s
A Dinner Engagement features cash-strapped Lord
and Lady Dunmow and their daughter, Susan. Amidst
kitchen capers and catastrophe, they do all they can
to keep up appearances when HRH The Grand Duchess
of Monteblanco and her extremely eligible son,
Prince Philippe, arrive for dinner.
Further performance on Friday 15th May.

output ranging from solo and duo works to over a
dozen concertos for the instrument. His numerous film
and orchestral scores have brought him wider fame
and he has also enjoyed a distinguished career as both

Pierre Boulez turns ninety this year, and this is
both an innovative retrospective and a multi-faceted
introduction to one of the giant figures in contemporary
music. A Pierre Dream is an acoustic and theatrical
journey through a lifetime of musical adventures,
innovations and discoveries, performed within a
specially commissioned design by world-renowned
architect Frank Gehry. The production mixes live
performance of works spanning over six decades of
Boulez’s creative career with rare on-screen archival
footage and new interviews.
A Pierre Dream was conceived by Gerard McBurney
as part of Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s acclaimed
Beyond the Score series, developed equally for
all audiences, whether newcomers or seasoned
