Can you
find the key...?
What would you do if you found a key? What would you do if you
found the door that belonged to the key? And what would you do
inside the Secret Garden?
Mary Lennox is lost and lonely. Sent away from her home in
India, she finds herself in the wilds of Yorkshire in a vast mansion
owned by a distant uncle. Soon the house begins to give up
its mysterious stories, but can she find the key to the secret
garden and discover what’s inside? A story of unlocking hearts
and minds, the redemptive power of nature and why some rules
should be broken...
This well-loved children’s classic is brought to life by critically
acclaimed, award-winning international theatre company
Proteus. Fusing circus, puppetry, film and music, this is a
magical journey beyond the door into the garden of imagination.
“Simply captivating.”
“Best of British theatre.”

Onyx Brass has dominated the international brass chamber music scene for the last eighteen years with its
serious yet approachable programmes. They strongly believe in commissioned new music, performing and
recording world premieres by Bob Chilcott, John Tavener, John McCabe and Judith Bingham. Onyx Brass’s
programme takes us on an eclectic tour of the countries and composers who have contributed to our rich
history of brass ensemble music over the centuries. It is rooted in the Renaissance but with a touch of the
great fugue as well as more modern European composers, including three new pieces.

Programme includes DEBUSSY Syrinx, STRAVINSKY Suite Italienne: Introduction and Minuet & Finale,

The Paris Salon was a centre of social and artistic life and none was finer than the one run by Winnaretta
Singer, a grand patron of the arts. This formidable woman, who was a talented musician and artist, did not
merely host performances for entertainment and kudos. Her energies transformed the salon into a creative
crucible that formed pioneering music by Fauré, Debussy and others. We are delighted to welcome actress
Maggie Steed who will, in the guise of Winnaretta, introduce this world inhabited by Proust, Diaghilev,
Isadora Duncan, Jean Cocteau, Virginia Woolf, Colette and many others.

left the Faces - is treading the boards again. Original
members Steve Simpson, Charlie Hart, Steve Bingham,
Alun Davies and Colin Davey are playing Ronnie’s
songs in the spirit of the band’s previous incarnations.
Charlie and Steve realized that they were not alone in
their lasting regard for Ronnie Lane and his songs.
Now for the rebirth of the band! They aim to celebrate
Ronnie’s later music, taking the show to festivals and
theatres at home and abroad. These great musicians
have been joined by Geraint Watkins on organ and

Dowland: Anniversary Collection
Elizabeth Kenny, widely regarded as one of the finest lutenists on the world stage, has a long-standing love
of English 17th century song. Here she is joined by some of today’s most outstanding interpreters of this
music to form Theatre Of The Ayre, an innovative ensemble which reinvents 17th century pieces in the spirit
of improvisation and, most importantly, entertainment. In the year of the 450th anniversary of John Dowland’s
birth, the group performs some of the composer’s most personal and direct songs, each of them a masterpiece
of style and beauty, in a musical snapshot of late-Elizabethan England.

Acknowledgements
The Stables would like to give a
special thanks to the following for
their valuable support:
Danny says: A few years back, I launched a campaign
(wrote some letters) which successfully saw the return of
Roast Beef Monster Munch to our supermarket shelves.
You’re welcome. This is a loosely-based stand up/
breakdown show which revolves around a handful of other
letters I have penned out of frustration, with mixed results.
It’s a show about those little annoyances. Too frivolous to
be a cause. Too inconsequential to be a campaign. But
just about right for that couple from Berwick-Upon-Tweed
who come to the Edinburgh Fringe every year. May contain
strong language and adult material. Suitable for age 16+.

Electro-acoustic early music ensemble Joglaresa bring
anarchy and sensuality back into medieval music because life can be just as low in Latin! In these times
of sleaze, MPs’ expenses, the fall of bankers from grace
and controversial wars in the Middle East, Joglaresa (long
deemed to be early music’s ‘bit of rough’) present medieval
songs of illicit affairs and seductions, biting criticisms
of bankers, politicians, bishops and conflict in the Middle
East, all delivered with Joglaresa’s inimitable energy,
danger and, above all, FUN!

Led by Temesgen Zeleke, a former star pupil of
Ethiopian legend Mulatu Astatke, Krar Collective
perform a rootsy yet contemporary take on traditional
music from Ethiopia based on other-worldly modes
and driven by hypnotic rhythms. The 6-stringed krar
lyre is associated with the azmari minstrel tradition;
in the hands of Zeleke it becomes a gritty, ancient rock
guitar. Accompanied just by drums and fronted by the
stunning, soaring voice of Genet Assefa, Krar Collective
create a surprisingly big sound, leading one critic to
name them ‘The Ethiopian White Stripes’. With a varied
repertoire from gentle ballads to high-energy dance
tunes, Krar Collective are set to surprise and delight.

video projections from the original Bollywood films,
and they’ve travelled the world, taking their colourful
carnivalesque act to over 25 countries along the way.

describes as The Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motörhead
meets Muddy Waters and Jimi Hendrix meets Robert

Melingo
Sad, funny, intense, bizarre, fascinating… Welcome
to Melingo’s wry Bohemian universe - a fabulous,
boozy, theatrical milieu where Tolstoy, Kafka, Piaf,
Brecht, Waits and Cohen might find solace. Melingo
walks the streets sniffing out poetry like a bloodhound,
dances like a whip and sings like a scar. He studied
at a Conservatoire but retains little of that institution,
having spent the early 80s celebrating the sex, drugs
and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle and playing reggae, funk and
rock. In the 90s he discovered the musical roots of
his home country - tango. His deep grouchy voice and
vividly sparse music well up from the world of tango in
its early days, conjuring up undiscovered romanticism
with the grating, Dada-like echo of a world stumbling
on its last legs. A true tango original!

David McVicar’s acclaimed production draws inspiration equally from the British

between black comedy and heartbreaking tragedy as Handel’s sumptuous
score pours out some of his most exquisitely fashioned and and exciting arias.

general and soprano Danielle de Niese as the irrepressibly coquettish Cleopatra,
ever ready to render unto Caesar whatever it takes to gain control of her kingdom.

An original Glyndebourne commission, the cast features members
of the Glyndebourne Chorus, singing in English. The performance lasts
approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes with no interval.
This is a story of love and loss, of betrayal and deception, of sex and a city, of
wounded pride and attempted retribution – of plumply inviting sofa cushions.
When Godofredo discovers his wife in an extremely compromising position on
his favourite yellow sofa with his business partner Machado, he doesn’t know
how to react – but he knows he must do something…
A new opera written specially for Glyndebourne by its first Composer-in-Residence
Julian Philips, with a text by Edward Kemp, it is based on a short story by Eça
de Queirós. Writing about Lisbon’s bourgeois society towards the end of the
19th century, Queirós is a shrewd observer of the human condition and writes
with an intriguing mix of gentle satire and wry humour. All of this is reflected
in the music, which also draws on the rich tradition of Portuguese folk song.
There is a FREE pre-concert talk at 2.30pm.

Stables Education is now on Facebook
The Stables and The National Youth Jazz Collective
have got together to provide a fantastic opportunity
for young players interested in jazz to meet regularly,
work with leading jazz musicians and educators,
and develop their improvising skills. The programme
focuses on small group improvisation working together
in groups each made up of young musicians of a
similar standard. The workshops are designed to
support a wide range of levels of ability and players of
different instruments. Each term ends with an informal
concert given to family and friends. To get the best out
of this program you need to be able to attend all the
monthly sessions as far as possible.
Course fee £120 for the whole program
(equivalent to £15 a day)
To register an interest in the course and receive further
information contact [email protected]
A limited bursary scheme is available for young people
who may not otherwise be able to attend.
(This course has limited places and the number of
places for the same instrument may be limited to
create balanced groups.)
A chance to learn the percussion played in a
range of Cuban traditional, popular and carnival
music. Study basic technical skills on a variety of
percussion instruments, gain an understanding of the
fundamental aspects of Cuban rhythms and enjoy the
experience of playing percussion in an ensemble. You
will learn how different percussion patterns interlock
and work together to create energetic and infectious
rhythms. We’ll learn the percussion played in salsa and
also cover some traditional drumming that will give you
an insight into how this has influenced popular music.
The course is suitable for anyone who has a basic
technique in hand drumming especially on conga
drums (able to play basic patterns with bass, slap and
open tone). The course is ideally suited to anyone who
has or is thinking about getting their own conga drums
or other Latin percussion equipment.

The Ceilidh Experience is for anyone interested
in traditional and folk music who would like the
chance to play in a band and play at a Ceilidh.
During the sessions you’ll learn tunes and
come together as small ceilidh bands, getting
ready to perform at a final event for dancers
and folk fans of all ages. You’ll also have the
opportunity to practice with a caller and work on
a professional stage with sound equipment.
Our expert tutor team of Jenny Newman, Andy
Glass and Simon Care will guide you through the
process of selecting, rehearsing and performing
traditional tunes, and guest caller Sheena Masson
will help you learn how to work with a caller.
An exciting opportunity to show off those new or hidden
talents. Ever attended one of the Stables Education events,
like the ukulele, harmonica or songwriting workshops,
or worked hard for six weeks on the Ceilidh or Rock
Experience? Now is the time to use those talents and get
the experience of the Over 2U open mike night. It’s a safe
environment with lots of other people with similar talents
and experience, supporting each other through what might
be their first stage appearance. You won’t have a better
opportunity to take that first step!

For any instrument, but acoustic instruments
especially welcome. Participants who read
music or who learn by ear are welcome.
