Leavers’ Concert

Around the World in 80 Minutes

Wednesday 15 March 8.00pm

Kings Place, London

Tickets are only available from kingsplace.co.uk and not from The Menuhin Hall Box Office

Our annual Leavers’ Concert is a chance for our graduating students to perform together in a celebratory concert at one of London’s major concert halls. The unique, family-like bond shared by our students lends this feel-good evening of chamber music an extraspecial sparkle.

Bach Four Duets, BWV 802–805

Turnage Slide Stride Milhaud Scaramouche

Stravinsky arr. Wright Eight Easy Pieces

Andres Martin Tango Across the Border

Arensky Piano Quintet in D major, Op. 51

At this year’s concert our final-year students will perform pieces from Around the World in 80 Minutes, their forthcoming recording on the Orchid Classics label. Join them as they embark on a journey through Western classical music from Bach’s exquisitely-crafted (and very Germanic) Four Duets to Slide Stride, Mark Anthony Turnage’s exuberant homage to American composer and jazz pianist James P. Johnson.

Running time: 80 minutes plus interval
