From Early Music to contemporary: the Royal Festival Hall organ is 70 and organist James McVinnie is celebrating with a Southbank Centre residency
James McVinnie performing at the Royal Festival Hall organ with Bedroom Community - Sept 2015The Royal Festival Hall organ is 70. Built from 1950–1954 to the specification of the London County Council's consultant, Ralph Downes, it was restored and re-configured by Harrison & Harrison as part of the hall's reconstruction during 2005-2007 and it was re-inaugurated on its 60th anniversary in March 2014. Now, to celebrate the instrument's 70th birthday, organist James McVinnie has a residency at the Southbank Centre featuring organ recitals including a wide range of repertoire as well as an appearance by the James McVinnie Ensemble.Though James had played the organ once before the rebuild, he was not familiar with it until he came to play it as part of the 2014 celebrations. But he spent two years as an organ scholar at St Albans Cathedral where the organ was also designed by Ralph Downes and built […]

N. Y.My City, my beloved, my white! Ah, slender,Listen! Listen to me, and I will breathe into thee a soul.Delicately upon the reed, attend me!Now do I know that I am mad,For here are a million people surly with traffic;This is no maid.Neither could I play upon any reed if I had one.My City, my beloved,Thou art a maid with no breasts,Thou art slender as a silver reed.Listen to me, attend me!And I will breathe into thee a soul,And thou shalt live for ever.Ezra PoundHaydnSymphony No. 49 "La Passione"AdamsThe Wound-dresserSchubertSymphony No. 8 "Unfinished"BergThree Orchestral PiecesDigital download with covers and some booklets BachPiano Concerto No. 1SchoenbergPiano ConcertoMozartSymphony No. 36Emanuel Ax pianoRachmaninovSymphony No. 2ProkofievPiano Concerto No. 2Yefim Bronfman pianoChristopher RouseOdna ZhiznSymphonies Nos. 3 & 4Prospero's RoomsStravinskyThe Rite of SpringRespighiPines of RomeFountains of RomeTchaikovskySymphony No. 2StuckySon et LumiereBerliozLes Nuits d´etéMussorgskyPictures at an ExhibitionJoyce DiDonato mezzosopranoMussorgskyNight on Bald MountainRimsky-KorsakovScheherazadeMozartGreat Mass in C minorJennifer Zetlan sopranoJennifer Johnson […]

Royal Opera House, LondonImpressive new work from Joshua Junker and Mthuthuzeli November pushes dancers well beyond the classical repertoireBallet is a heritage art form that craves renewal. Companies often seek a galvanising jolt from artists in other dance styles, but the Royal Ballet’s festival gives classically trained makers a space to spread their wings, with length, large ensembles and strong design. The evening of new works results in confident main stage debuts for two experienced women based in New York and two younger men working in the UK.The only choreographer drawn from the Royal Ballet’s ranks is Joshua Junker. Never Known opens with a twitching, angular pack of dancers staring up at a high, hazy light (Zeynep Kepekli’s gloriously responsive lighting is key to all four ballets). Junker’s movement is often deliberate, close to the floor. He stretches his cast, quite literally: spines slink backwards, one dancer drapes over another’s […]
