WELCOME
WELCOME TO THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF MUSIC’S SUMMER SEASON This season we mark 200 years since the publication of the iconic gothic novel, Frankenstein – The Modern Prometheus, with five new and exciting mini-operas bringing together the talents of RCM composers and singers. On a similarly exuberant scale, our annual Festival of Percussion is an allday extravaganza and features one of the world’s leading drummers, Mark Guiliana. Our Orchestral Masterworks series includes two great masterpieces of the repertoire: Brahms’ Double Concerto for Violin and Cello and Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet Suite. Polonsky Visiting Professor of Violin Maxim Vengerov also returns to lead an orchestral masterclass on Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. We see the final concert in our Russian Chamber Series in association with the Philharmonia Orchestra, and Super String Sunday features two of the great solo string canons JS Bach’s unaccompanied suites and partitas plus Ysaÿe’s sonatas for violin. Our performers are also out and about this season. At Cadogan Hall, as part of our annual residency, Pinchas Zukerman gives an unmissable workshop with RCM ensembles, alongside two chamber concerts. Over at Wigmore Hall, we present two showcases, and at Southbank Centre, RCM musicians and professors feature as part of their festival devoted to Ligeti. We round off the summer season with a double bill of British opera – Peter Maxwell Davies’ classic one act opera The Lighthouse alongside the critically acclaimed opera by Huw Watkins In the Locked Room, a fantastical story based on a work by Thomas Hardy. We look forward to welcoming you here. Stephen Johns Artistic Director

Stephen Unwin director Michael Rosewell conductor Hannah Wolfe designer Peter Maxwell Davies The Lighthouse Huw Watkins In the Locked Room Acclaimed theatre director Stephen Unwin joins forces with Michael Rosewell for two thrilling and mysterious operas by Peter Maxwell Davies and Huw Watkins. In Maxwell Davies’ chamber opera, three lighthouse keepers mysteriously disappear from a remote Scottish Isle on a windy and rain-lashed night in 1900. What unfolds is based on a chilling and haunting real-life account found in Craig Mair’s book A Star for Seamen: The Stevenson Family of Engineers. Prepare yourselves for an equally gripping psychological drama in RCM graduate Huw Watkins’ In the Locked Room. Described by the composer as ‘inward-looking and reflective, grappling with deep emotion’, this one-act opera explores the power of the mind and its influence on a person’s actions. Tickets: £10, £20, £30, £40, £50 Available from Wednesday 9 May. Benefactors and Patrons have priority booking from Wednesday 25 April and RCM Friends from Wednesday 2 May.

MUSIC AND IDEAS: MAKING CHOICES – WRITING A HISTORY OF THE RCM
Professor Gabriele Rossi Rognoni Curator, Royal College of Music Museum Musical instruments are amongst the tools that have accompanied humankind for the longest time and in the most pervasive manner since the earliest stages of civilisation. Their construction, decoration, sound and materials reflect broader social and economic directions of their place of origin, and often define the musical traits of those who use them. This inaugural professorial lecture investigates the various connections between musical instruments and some key moments in the social history of Britain.
6.15pm | Recital Hall David Wright
David Wright discusses his approach to writing a history of the RCM, and explains why it has been important to set his account within a broader social, cultural and economic frame.
