Chigwell and

Buckhurst Hill

elcome to the January/February edition of Inside Magazine, the local magazine for Chigwell and Buckhurst Hill.

Another year has just begun, and it’s a big one for me – I start a new decade. Instead of my age starting with X, it will start with X+1. Not that big of a deal, you’d think. Or is it?

The other day I triggered the security alarm while walking out of a well-known shop. The helpful assistant rummaged in my bag for the offending item. “I can show you the receipt,” I politely said. “No, no,” she replied. “You look trustworthy.” She may as well have said “You’re inconceivably ancient, sir.” Not at all what I wanted to hear.

“Come here, young fella,” I wished she’d said. “You look like a wrong ‘un.” I want the police to call me “sonny” and I want the off licence to refuse to serve me. But my features let me down, rounded and wrinkled and exuding a ripe old honesty. People now trust me, and you have no idea how upsetting that is.

I wish that I was still regarded as a yob, mercilessly grilled when alarms went off. I wish that I was still X-1. Worried, I asked my wife “Do I look like X+1?” She replied “Y?”. (PS – sue me if that ain’t the best algebra joke ever.)

BUCKHURST HILL BASED TRAVEL AGENT HELEN PESKETT SCORES 100% IN COMPANY CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY

B

uckhurst Hill based travel agent Helen Peskett is celebrating after she repeatedly scored an overwhelming 100% in the company’s customer satisfaction survey.

Helen is one of over 1,500 professional Travel Counsellors located throughout the UK and overseas, running their own Franchise travel business as part of the award winning independent travel agency, Travel Counsellors.

In the survey Helen’s customers are asked just one question – how likely they would be to recommend her services to their friends and colleagues, responding with a score of between one to ten. It is clear from Helen’s impressive overall score of 100% that her dedication to going that extra mile for customers is a proven success.

“The fact that my customers want to recommend my services to their friends and colleagues confirms to me that I am doing things right,” says Helen, who has 25 years in the travel industry. “I am thrilled with my score. It is very rewarding and it’s a great feeling to know that my customers are happy.”

Working for Travel Counsellors, using the company’s award-winning technology allows Helen to be available at the time that is most convenient to the customer – including during the evenings and at weekends, providing a unique personal customer service to each and every customer. Many of her customers work for the emergency services, hospitals or are business

owners who work a variety of hours. This made easy with state of the art technology, customers have all sorts of ways to contact Helen. There is also the new Travel Counsellors App which puts all the customers documents in one place, making looking at them so easy when they are away from home and a direct link to Helen too.

Helen adds; “My business is based on customer recommendation so it is very satisfying to know how highly my customers rate me. Providing my customers with the best possible service always comes first and that is what makes my business a success. Although they deal with just me, there is a large team at the Manchester Head Office, with a 24 hour emergency helpline.”

LOUISE FARRENC

or Men, Mendelssohn and Kylie Minogue STORY: DAVID YOUNG

T

his is another story of the quitegoods. Of the runners-up, the also rans and the ones that just ran away. Of the flames that never flared too fiercely, or flickered for a while and then faded. We’re not all immortals.

Some of us are quite good, though. And some of the quite-goods have their moments, when they flicker and fade.

By nature, I’m just a very annoying person. No. I really am. Don’t try to butter me up. I’m annoying now and I was annoying even at primary school in ill-fitting shorts and a tie that I couldn’t do up properly. I was deliberately annoying, which makes it worse, constantly looking for new ways in which to annoy my six-year-old friends. One method that must have been particularly irritating to everyone was my affected way of pretending never to have heard of The Beatles, extolling instead the virtues of classical music, especially, for no particular reason, Felix Mendelssohn. Don’t ask me why I did this. I just know that it annoyed everybody greatly and consequently I was happy. I remember that, while the rest of the school sang Yellow Submarine, I had a small book that listed the twenty great

OP45 TRIO 8

026_IM_CBH_PUB_JANFEB2... page 8

LOUISE FARRENC composers, which of course included Mendelssohn. Everybody was gratifyingly annoyed.

The odd thing about that book (sadly out of print now) is that every composer ever in the history of the world seemed to have been white and male.

Nobody ever said as much, but I naturally assumed that it must be quite impossible for women to compose music. This belief, of course, was disproved to me in my later years by the timeless canon of works by Kylie Minogue.

Women really can write music, it seems.

But had this, after all, been the case all along? As with literature, had there been women writers whose efforts had either been overlooked or conveniently forgotten? You will not be surprised to learn that the answer is ‘yes’. There is no parallel in music to George Eliot, no woman forced to assume a male identity, unless it turns out that Beethoven was a perky Australian woman. But there were female composers.

One such, largely forgotten by time, was Louise Farrenc. Highly esteemed by the highbrow world of music, she nevertheless failed to establish a name for herself and so a concert of Farrenc work would not command the appeal of, say, a Mendelssohn performance (or, these days, Kylie Minogue). She also never wrote an opera, and that was what you were supposed to produce to be taken seriously in 19th century France.

Louise Farrenc was born in Paris in 1804. At an early age, she showed great promise as a pianist, and her parents agreed to let her study at The Conservatoire when she was fifteen – although only men were allowed to study composition. She

Inside Magazine, Chigwell & Buckhurst Hill

January & February 2017

Monday, 05 December 2016 14:17 Cyan Magenta Yellow Black

went on to establish a successful career as a performer, at first with her husband playing flute, and later on as a solo artiste.

Her success and fame earned her a post at The Conservatoire as Professor of Piano, one of the most prestigious musical posts in the world, although she was not entitled to earn as much as would a male counterpart.

She composed music which gained acclaim, especially with her 1850 nonet. Using this piece as leverage, she eventually achieved parity on pay.

Throughout her life, she was a composer, largely of chamber music, much of which was highly regarded, but very little of which caught on with the world at large. After her death, in 1875, her

January & February 2017

026_IM_CBH_PUB_JANFEB2... page 9

work was forgotten.

Perhaps it was the lack of that precious opera in her portfolio.

Or maybe, just maybe, it was her gender that was the problem.

Recent research has revived her reputation. It remains to be seen whether someday someone somewhere will write a book for primary schools that admits that – whisper it quietly everyone – women are capable of writing classical music in a way that not even Kylie could imagine.

She wasn’t the fiercest flame in the firmament of 19th century France, but she was a fire that burned for a while before some big male feet smothered the flickering.

WORLD RENOWN PIANIST JOHN LILL LENDS HIS SUPPORT TO THE STRATFORD AND EAST LONDON MUSIC FESTIVAL

R

enowned pianist John Lill has endorsed the Stratford and East London Music Festival and has paid tribute to the ongoing services it provides for classical music and the arts.

“In an age, when we are experiencing the deliberate attempt to starve classical music and other fine arts out of existence, it is a near miracle that the Stratford and East London Music Festival is as dynamic and successful as it is after so many years of continuous activity.

When I was a boy living in Leyton, many London suburbs had their own music clubs and amateur symphony orchestras, but now most of them have been obliterated by lack of funds. In my early days, I well remember the Festival and the fact that it’s still so enthusiastically and expertly organised deserves total admiration and my hearty congratulations. Very well done and long may you show such a wonderful example!”

John Lill, November 2016.

The Stratford and East London Music Festival continues to flourish and is now in its 135th year.

The Festival website (www.stratfordmusicfestival.org.uk) now takes most entries online and provides all information on venues, classes, dates and results.

The 135th Festival will take place on the 6th and 7th February at St. Mary’s Church in South Woodford for Choirs, Orchestras, Bands and Organ and from the 13th-18th February at Forest School in Snaresbrook for all other music, speech and drama classes.

John Lill studied at the Royal College of Music and with Wilhelm Kempff and gave his first piano recital at the age of nine. Lill has made a number of recordings, including the complete piano concertos of Beethoven, Brahms and Rachmaninoff and the complete piano sonatas of Beethoven and Prokofiev.

Lill has performed in over fifty countries, both as a recitalist and as a concerto soloist. His repertoire includes more than seventy concertos, and he is acclaimed in particular as a leading interpreter of

JOHN LILL Beethoven, whose complete sonata cycle he has performed on several occasions in the UK, US and Japan. In Britain, he has given over 30 BBC Promenade concerts and regularly appears with all the major Symphony Orchestras. He has toured overseas with the London Symphony, London Philharmonic, BBC Symphony, CBSO, Hallé, Royal Scottish National and BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestras.

John Lill lives in London. He was made an OBE in 1978 and awarded the CBE for his services to music in the 2005 New Year’s Honours List.
