Connecting people through music Wigmore Hall Learning gives people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities opportunities to take part in creative music making. We lead a wide range of innovative projects and events, both in the community and at Wigmore Hall, for children, families, schools, young people and adults. We are passionate about the impact music can have on our lives and on our society, and three core values lie at the heart of our programme: creativity, collaboration and equality. These are values which reflect the spirit of chamber music, and this inspires all that we do: making music together as an ensemble, with every voice heard and equally valued.

‘Just to thank you on behalf of our school for a really enjoyable afternoon of music. I have certainly picked up some ideas about nurturing composition opportunities with children from the project.’ Primary School Teacher

In the Community Partner Schools Programme: Recharged Inspired by the creative activity of our Partner Schools Programme, Lansbury Lawrence Primary School in Tower Hamlets wanted to create their own end of year show, rather than buy in a pre-written piece. Years 5 and 6 worked with music and theatre leaders, alongside their art and drama teachers, to create and perform their very own opera, with pupils across the school creating every element, from the set, to the libretto and the music. We gave pupils complete creative freedom on the opera’s topic, and their overwhelming response was that it should explore themes of racism, inequality and the will to power. Recharged centred on a society in which power, or ‘charge’, is unequally distributed across a kingdom of robots. We are delighted that as a result of this school embracing the creative arts at the heart of their school, they have recently achieved Artsmark Gold status, an award from Arts Council England.
‘I would like to take this opportunity to say a GARGANTUAN thank you for allowing us to perform our Year 6 leaving performance at such a well-known and beautiful venue.’ Year 6 pupil, Lansbury Lawrence Primary School © Benjamin Ealovega

In the Community Music for Life: Young Onset
Music for Life is a pioneering music programme for people living with dementia and their families, friends and carers, encompassing a wide range of projects and events in care settings, community settings and at Wigmore Hall itself. We are delighted to have launched a new project alongside families living with young onset dementia in partnership with Dementia Pathfinders. In each session, professional musicians invite group members to connect and communicate through music, creating improvisations together that reflect those involved.
‘It was so touching to see not only Ray*, but others with dementia open up and feel comfortable enough to just play what their hearts felt. He could feel it and talked about it for a few days after each session, it was one of the few times in his life now that he was in control of something. It was magic for me too. Just to feel the energy in the room. Very, very special, I know that we all felt it. Thank you.’ Family member Š www.benjaminharte.co.uk

Wigmore Study Group: Big Ideas for a Small Stage Wednesday 13 June 3.00pm – 6.00pm Tuesday 19 June 3.00pm – 6.00pm Thursday 21 June 3.00pm – 6.00pm Come and immerse yourself in the world of Bach, at the height of his career, as he established himself in the illustrious post of Kantor at the Thomasschule and civic director of music in Leipzig. Within two years he had by far surpassed what could have been expected of him, composing two complete annual cycles of cantatas. He had also presented larger scale choral works, the Magnificat and the St John Passion, soon to be followed by the St Matthew Passion. In his sacred dramas, Bach showed an innate sense of the theatrical, combining with extraordinary skill the dramatic narrative, religious commentary and emotional response, whilst giving the congregation, through his chorale settings, an active role in the performance. These afternoons are hosted by composer Julian Philips with pianist Laura Roberts, alongside invited guest speakers and students from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. Series ticket price £66 including 3 study sessions and a ticket for the evening concert on Thursday 21 June
Tuesday 26 June 4.00pm – 5.15pm
Lecture-Recital: Sonorous Brushes Pianist and amateur painter, Jenny Q Chai, has discovered a personal form of synesthesia – a melding of senses – in regards to how she experiences music. In this French inspired programme, through repertoire which truly lives at the intersection of colour and sound, Chai explores such meeting of the senses, preparing each piece of music as she seeks to translate her mental imagery into the real world, both through her musical performance, and on canvas. £15

Introduction to the String Quartet Thursday 28 June 4.45pm – 6.00pm Thursday 5 July 4.45pm – 6.00pm Thursday 12 July 4.45pm – 6.00pm Thursday 19 July 4.45pm – 6.00pm The string quartet, a combination of two upper voices, one middle and one lower, gives the composer the minimum requirement for four-part harmony but doesn’t allow too much room for sonorous colour and display. This idea of a bare minimum has entranced composers from Haydn – who started it all – right through to the present day, and the attention that so many great composers have given the genre has created an almost unrivalled succession of masterful works; Beethoven’s seventeen quartets acting almost as benchmarks, with Schubert, Brahms, Bartók and Shostakovich pitching in too.
