Performance and Events
welcome Welcome to Trinity College of Music’s Summer Diary. Our summer programme of events couldn’t get off to a better start with performances by the Trinity College of Music Opera Company of Britten’s comic opera, Albert Herring at Blackheath Halls. The vocal theme continues into May with a performance in the glorious setting of the Old Royal Naval College Chapel by the College’s Chamber Choir. Under the direction of Stephen Jackson, this ensemble is well-known for its exciting programming and polished performances and this concert will include a composition by Daryl Runswick, former Head of Composition at Trinity. 2010 marks the anniversaries of both Robert Schumann and Hugo Wolf, and our students will be celebrating with two Lieder concerts, to include some rare and unusual repertoire. This is a perfect opportunity to hear our students perform ‘at home’ in the Peacock Room at King Charles Court, the Old Royal Naval College. Also, don’t miss your last chance this academic year to hear the Trinity College of Music Sinfonia, at Blackheath Halls on 6th May. Finally, once our students have departed to enjoy a well-deserved summer break, our summer courses commence. If you are a jazz musician or singer, do read on to find out more about our two courses running in August. To be kept informed of all forthcoming events join our free mailing list by contacting us on www.tcm.ac.uk/mailinglist or call 020 8305 4444 to register your details.

highlight events Britten - Albert Herring Wed 21 – Sat 24 Apr 7.30pm Great Hall, Blackheath Halls Trinity College of Music Opera Company Director Bill Bankes-Jones Musical Director Steuart Bedford Designer Ellan Parry Created for Britten’s newly-formed English Opera Group with a mission to produce opera in English on a small scale, Albert Herring centres on the May Day celebrations in a rural Suffolk village at the very beginning of the twentieth century. Lacking girls of suitable moral fibre, a timid and innocent young lad is chosen to be the May Queen. Widely celebrated as a comic opera, Albert Herring sparkles with wit and intelligence overlying a convincing portrayal of a tight little society with all its strivings for uprightness and control, alongside the natural failings of such a community. Trinity is delighted to be working again with director Bill BankesJones and to collaborate for the first time with one of the world’s foremost Britten interpreters, conductor Steuart Bedford. £20 (£15 concessions) Box Office 020 8463 0100

Final of the Daryl Runswick Competition for Composition Tue 27 Apr 7pm Theatre Studio, Trinity College of Music Fri 7 May 1pm BFI Foyer, Southbank The past few years have seen the Contemporary Music Group explore an ever wider range of repertoire, juxtaposing major works from the last 60 years with newly commissioned pieces by students. For this year’s Runswick Prize the composers have been tasked with creating a live score to a choice of four abstract films drawn from the BFI’s archives. Several of the finalists will have chosen the same ones so expect the rare experience of witnessing the effect that different soundtracks have on the same moving images. The first half of the concert features works by seminal US composer Christian Wolff, a composer who among other things produces work that encourages both professional and lay players to develop ‘a spirit of liberating interdependence’. The composer will be visiting Trinity to give a presentation to the composition faculty on Thursday 3 June. The pieces by the four Runswick finalists will be repeated at a lunchtime concert in the foyer of the BFI on the Southbank on Friday 7 May at 1pm. Admission Free

An Evening with Shappi Khorsandi
Dr Feelgood
Andy Hamilton: Hat of Doom
As seen on Live at The Apollo, Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, and Have I Got News for You, Shappi Khorsandi is one of the hottest comedy prospects in the country. She’s feisty, flirty and effortlessly funny. She handles every subject with a razor sharp wit, softened only by her deliciously dizzy delivery and endless charm. ‘Britain’s best young female comic by any yardstick’ The Guardian £15 (£13 concessions)
www.blackheathhalls.com 30 | blackheath halls
Formed on Canvey Island in Essex in the 1970s, Dr. Feelgood remains one of the most popular and exciting live rhythm and blues acts in the world. The current line up features rhythm section Kevin Morris drums, Phil Mitchell bass, both celebrating 26 years with the band this year, Steve Walwyn guitar and vocalist Robert Kane. The band continue to tour extensively thrilling crowds with the vitality of their live show! £13.50 in advance (£14.50 on the door)
Blackheath Halls is pleased to present one of Britain’s best loved comedy performers and writers, Andy Hamilton, who is embarking on a national live tour this spring with his stage show ‘Hat of Doom’ – a one-man show brimming with jokes, stories, gossip, music, cash prizes, nudity, trampolining and containing ‘mild peril.’ ‘Andy Hamilton just can’t stop being funny’ The Times £16 (£14 concessions)
