Spring 2020 Wigmore Hall Learning Brochure

January - March

2020

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.

Learning Festival: Musical Conversations Our Learning Festival in 2019/20 invites you to explore the many different ways we create, perform, listen to and respond to music. We delve into the concept of musical conversation, a notion at the heart of chamber music, and invite you, your ears and your voices to take part.

We mark 250 years since the birth of one of the world’s most celebrated composers, Ludwig van Beethoven, whose own modes of musical conversation shifted when he began to lose his hearing. Yet he continued to make music, and went on to compose some of the greatest works he would ever create.

RE:SCALE

Explore the sounds of Wigmore Hall and create your own musical conversations on a miniature model of the stage…

This newly commissioned interactive sound installation by artist and composer Gawain Hewitt invites you to compose duets using sounds of Wigmore Hall performers and participants past and present.

A part of our Beethoven 250 celebrations and Musical Conversations festival, the installation includes vibrating transducers, enabling D/deaf and hearing participants to explore pieces through touch and vibration.

This unique performance of a deeply moving piece is made even more profound by the absence of light, allowing for total focus on Beethoven’s extraordinary soundworld.

IN THE COMMUNITY...

Music for Thought In partnership with Resonate Arts and the Royal Academy of Music, we lead creative projects for people living with dementia and their families, friends and carers. Participants are recruited through Resonate Arts, who support people before, during and after each project. Sessions are led by musicians from our Music for Life programme alongside students from the Royal Academy of Music. The music making is responsive to each group, but typically includes a combination of improvisation, exploration of instruments, performances of existing repertoire, lyric writing and singing.

INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC: BRAHMS Thursday 9 January Thursday 16 January Thursday 23 January Thursday 30 January All dates 4.45pm – 6.00pm In many ways, Johannes Brahms stands outside the mainstream of the Romantic movement. His interest lay far more in abstract music, sonatas, symphonies, variations and concertos rather than opera or programme music, although he did of course compose a great number of wonderful Lieder. His music is a fascinating combination of traditional forms and powerful, romantic harmony; the often profound emotional effect that his music exerts perhaps arises from the tension between these two forces. We will look at the huge range of his output with particular emphasis on his extraordinary contribution to chamber music.

WIGMORE STUDY GROUP: BEETHOVEN Come and immerse yourself in the string quartets of Beethoven. To the 18th-century listener, the four-voice texture of the string quartet was closely associated with both the contrapuntal learned style and the art of conversation. Beethoven had always been fascinated by the minutiae of the instruments he wrote for, instructing himself in his Tagebuch to ‘share a meal with someone, where one can discuss this and that, instruments etc., violins, cellos...’. In this study series, we will look at works from all periods of the composer’s life, exploring his monumental contribution to the genre. The series is presented by composer Julian Philips, with pianist Laura Roberts, guest speakers and student performers from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.

Series ticket price £70 including three study sessions and a ticket for the evening concert on Monday 2 March

ZUZANA: MUSIC IS LIFE

Preceding the evening’s concert, Wigmore Hall will screen Zuzana: Music is Life, a short film about the legendary harpsichordist and humanitarian figure Zuzana Růžičková, who performed for many seasons at the Hall between the 1960s and 1990s.

Music is Life is the dark and triumphant story told by Růžičková, who died in 2017 aged 90, about how she became the world-famous harpsichordist and interpreter of Bach under the Communist regime in Czechslovakia, after surviving three concentration camps during her teenage years. Despite constant surveillance, marginal employment and confiscation of foreign currency wages by the Czech Communist Party, Zuzana became the only person worldwide to record all the keyboard works of Bach.
