Farnham Maltings Autumn 2014 Brochure by farnham maltings

welcome Over the past decade we have been building on the work of the previous 30 years to develop Farnham Maltings as a vibrant, ambitious, contemporary organisation that contributes to the shape and character of our town. All over the country the lives of millions of people are enhanced by the many kinds of arts and culture they explore, take part in, experience, create and enjoy. They influence the design of our high streets, the food that we eat, our parks and libraries, the music and dance that is offered to our children in schools. As we work at building a contemporary theatre programme, help over 50 young people to take their first step into employment through the Creative Employment Programme, support the 1000-strong U3A to undertake the extraordinary programme of learning that they offer, prepare to celebrate a month of craft throughout October and launch the next stage of the building improvements, we want to remind people of the everyday and special contribution the arts make to all of us. And, as we move towards a general election, that it matters more than ever that we recognise, and express to our politicians and each other, how much we care about the quality of our lives. ACE Award news We have been successful in our bid to Arts Council England for funding 2015–2018. This will allow us to continue our work to improve the range, quality and audience for theatre across the region. During this period we will focus on three strands of work: · make our own work for rural communities and produce a group of artists and companies to make and tour contemporary theatre. · programme and underwrite theatre through a network of 150 venues across the south east. · lead caravan as a programme designed to help more theatre companies to work internationally. We are delighted to have been asked to lead this work and know that the relationships, learning and confidence it will encourage will benefit us locally. Gavin Stride Director

THE MALTINGS’ MET HD OPERA GROUP

The Maltings’ Met HD Opera Group Once again we are delighted to be screening the Met’s new season of innovative and spectacular productions. Featuring a selection of the best-loved titles in opera, including Verdi’s Macbeth and Bizet’s Carmen, the season offers a dazzling array of tragic and comic moments, performed by some of the world’s greatest performers. Please see pages 18, 23, 27, 29 and 37 for details of this autumn’s screenings; further Met operas will be screened in 2015. The Met bookmark will be available in the foyer for at-a-glance details of the full season. This autumn marks the first anniversary of our Met HD Opera Group. Based around the Met’s live programme, and organised in partnership with the first ever international Met HD Ambassador, Jacqueline Boronow Danson, the group provides opportunities for opera lovers in and around Farnham to exchange views and engage with each other beyond the screenings. We are delighted that so many of you have so enthusiastically taken the opportunity to share your passion for opera with other like-minded people, and to sign-up to the Maltings’ Met HD Opera Group mailing list for exclusive announcements and bonus content relating to the Met HD season. The success of the Maltings’ Met HD Opera Group clearly highlights a real love of opera within the local community, something we are truly passionate about and eager to share. In the coming seasons we are hoping to engage schools as part of an educational programme to bring the unique experience of opera to young people. Your thoughts and suggestions about the programme are invaluable in helping to develop the offer in new and exciting ways, and we always love to hear from you. If you have an idea for the Met HD Opera Group, please do get in touch. You can contact Jackie on jdansonHD@metopera.org We hope you enjoy the new season, and very much look forward to seeing you at the screenings!
