Denotes a performance created specifically for Dartington

Welcome I’m delighted to welcome you to the 2016 concert programme at Dartington International Summer School & Festival. 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, to 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!

Stile Antico

We celebrate Shakespeare’s 400th anniversary in style, with Stile Antico’s stunning madrigal concert and William Lyons and Peter Oswald’s exploration of Shakespeare’s theatre. There’s virtuosic Venetian music from Carole Cerasi’s delightful harpsichord, and the majestic glory of St Mark’s Basilica in Monteverdi’s Vespers. Enjoy the haunting art of Dowland with Emma Kirkby, The City Musick rollicking through German streets, The Brook Street Band on fire with Corelli, and Joanna MacGregor performing Bach’s life-affirming Well-Tempered Clavier.

Innovative creativity abounds this week, meshing improvisation, Arabic culture and medieval literature.

Experience late night poetry and jazz from Huw Warren and Alice Oswald; a rare performance of Terry Riley’s In C; Stevie Wishart’s Transients; and Middle Eastern sacred music, lullabies and love songs, led by the Lebanese master Abdul Salam Kheir. All this and folk and fairy tales too, from Marina Warner and Simon Armitage.

South American music weaves its way through the week, with the incredible Brazilian percussionist Adriano Adewale, Lithuanian accordionist Martynas Levickas, and a Tango Ball.

Music theatre takes over too – with a witty new show about Dorothy Parker, and a fastpaced, new production of The Pirates of Penzance. Don’t miss our final choral concert – Haydn’s mighty Nelson Mass paired with Shostakovich’s terrific Piano Concerto No.1.
