      <image:caption>4-10 September, £5-£15 Marylebone; Soho; New Cross Gate; Stoke Newington Homo Promos, Britain’s oldest LGBT company, moves into the world of opera with the premiere of a haunting true story. A shy and lonely teenage boy, a dreamer; an old man with a secret, once greatly loved, haunted by the past; a protective and suspicious mother, determined on the truth. When the three collide, can catastrophe be averted? This is a poignant exploration of LGBT history, and the experiences passed down the generations, for better or worse, told from the viewpoint of the boy Tadzio. The opening performance is part of the Tête à Tête Opera Festival (15 August - 11 September) before it tours around London.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events Guide - Autumn 2022: UK Opera Guide - The Blue Woman</image:title>
      <image:caption>8-9 September, 7.45pm, £10-£35 (&lt;30s half price) Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Suffolk Award-winning director Katie Mitchell tackles the psychological impact of violence against women in this new opera by Laura Bowler and Laura Lomas. The Blue Woman provokes a conversation about how operas deal with violence against women and our modern day understanding of this reality. It excavates the interior landscape of one woman, who has experienced a post-traumatic shattering of self as a consequence of being raped. It follows her as she searches a nameless city looking for what was taken. Wrapped around the central spine of the story are fragments of text, from other women of different ages, who have all been victims of sexual violence. Formally experimental, the structure of the opera mirrors the journey of fracture and reform that the Woman goes on.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>9-10 September, 7.30pm, £12-£25 (discounts for &lt;26s &amp; students) Arcola Theatre, Dalston It is 1837 and Mary has been arrested for a breach of the peace. She is an outspoken woman and the authorities of Doncaster are confounded. They sentence Mary to a lifetime confinement in Wakefield Asylum. The Unravelling Fantasia of Miss H. is a poetic portrayal of a Victorian woman imprisoned by a society intent on control. Mary Frances Heaton’s tale is told through her own words, her defiant protests stitched into embroidered samplers and discovered in the asylum years later. Mary’s struggle to hold on to her identity and reach the outside world speaks across the years, her outrage at a corrupt system urging us to ask ‘How much have things really changed?’. This contemporary opera is a new composition by soprano Red Gray and Sarah Nicolls with her inside-out piano.</image:caption>

It’s followed up with a distinctive take on Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons by Finnish violinist and conductor Pekka Kuusisto, who intersperses the familiar movements with Nordic folk music.

His works push performers to the very edge of their limits, and when played by flautist Kathryn Williams, Ferneyhough’s music is transformed into jaw-dropping physical theatre. For this one-off collaboration, Kathryn’s fearless style will perfectly complement Bastard Assignments – a quartet of composer/performers whose appearances in recent years have left audiences shocked, amused and ultimately amazed.

      <image:caption>25-27 November, 5-8.30pm, free Cooper Gallery, Barnsley As night falls, Luminous Birds by Kathy Hinde uses synchronised lighting and spatialised music to create the sensation of birds flying overhead. Each bird is handmade using the traditional paper folding technique of Origami. They light up in turn to create an animated sequence similar to stop motion animation accompanied by micro-compositions made from the sounds of distorted pianos and bells. The action of many birds, flocking together, is one of nature’s most amazing phenomena – an ultimate act of cooperation, hundreds moving forward in harmony. Luminous Birds creates a moment out of the ordinary… A magical experience for all the family, to be viewed after dark.</image:caption>

A sort of secular Sunday service. This one, with Professor Daniel Leech-Wilkinson of King’s College London, invites us to consider how we can use musical performance to empathise with others. Research on the sounds that caregivers exchange with infants has profound implications for the way we understand classical music; how we sing and play these scores and how music moves us.

      <image:caption>Mezzo-soprano, based in the UK Instagram CN Lester is a mezzo-soprano, a researcher, a composer and the author of the book Trans Like Me, which was named as one of the three essential works on trans issues by the New York Times. They are also founder of Transpose, a cross-arts night at the Barbican for promoting the talents of trans and trans-supportive performers. “One of the reasons I fell in love with opera is because of its rich tradition of gender play and confusion. The possibilities that opera opens to us, as a space both rooted in and outside of real life – a place to dream, a commentary box, an arena in which to voice the unvoiceable - are tremendous gifts.” Image credit: Sophia Stefellé</image:caption>

They were a Young Artist with the National Opera Studio for 2019/20 season, and a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, where they gained Distinction in MA Performance. “Progress is slow because you’re fighting against hundreds of years of tradition. People are afraid to speak out because they don’t want to lose any work and they’re afraid of upsetting the wrong people. If cis musicians want to be an ally to the trans community, fight intolerance where you see it. Don’t just ignore it and pretend that it’ll just go away. It’s not up to the minority or oppressed party to educate and enable change all the time. Be brave and take a stand.” Image credit: Christa Holka</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 6 Trans Opera Singers - Lucia Lucas</image:title>
      <image:caption>Baritone, based in Germany Instagram Lucia Lucas made history when, in March 2018, it was announced that she would become the first female (transgender) baritone to perform a principal role on an American operatic stage. She was also the first trans singer to perform with English National Opera (in a male role). She would like to see more opportunities for trans singers to play standard roles, as opposed to appearing solely in specialty projects featuring trans or non-gender-specific characters. “I like female baritones because it reduces the stigma of women having a low voice. I know cis women who didn't sing because they felt their voice was not in a ‘normal’ range. I never envisioned that I could both be myself and do my career. There are people who are not on my side and may never be, but you gravitate towards the people who like you and you try not to worry about the people who don’t.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Tenor, based in Germany Instagram Holden Madagame is an American tenor and a passionate trans activist, ancestral healing practitioner, and research-based performer. Holden was assigned female at birth and trained as a mezzo soprano at the University of Michigan. Amongst other milestones, in 2025 he was the first transgender person to sing the role of Mime in the entire cycle of Wagner’s ‘Der Ring des Nibelungen’. In addition to opera, in recent years he has focused his performance research on rage, drumming, and ancestral connection. “It was absolutely a gamble to take testosterone and hope to have a career singing operatically because the research that I had done said it wasn't possible. That if you start testosterone, your voice will deteriorate, your range will be reduced, the quality of your voice will deteriorate, and you can't sing professionally. But I knew that I had to try. Now I sing as a tenor.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Baritone, based in New York Instagram Lucas Bouk is an American opera singer and actor. Prior to 2021 he lived as Mr Liz and performed as a mezzo soprano. He has physically transitioned with testosterone and now continues his career as a baritone. In June 2019, Lucas became the first openly transgender opera singer in a featured role written for a transgender singer in Stonewall, an opera by Iain Bell and Mark Campbell.  "Prior to COVID, I had no intention of physically transitioning with testosterone. Performing has always been a beautiful escape: a chance to be someone else and to embody a character onstage. I couldn't imagine taking a year off to transition and re-train. COVID gave me that time. In September 2020 I decided to begin my physical transition and started taking low-doses of testosterone. I've been working remotely with my voice teacher throughout the transition and the work has paid off: I debuted as a baritone with On Site Opera in August!"</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Samuel Adler, published in 2016 by W. W. Norton and Company Order from Waterstones Written by a renowned composer whose works have been performed by major orchestras around the world, The Study of Orchestration is the only text that explores the characteristics of orchestral instruments and shows how a master composer approaches orchestration.  “Whilst it is titled as an orchestration book - and there are chapters associated with such - I have found its best use is explaining the rudiments and fundamentals of each individual instrument in the orchestral family (timbral range and colours, limitations, techniques etc.) and it is almost always the first resource I open when tackling a new ensemble I am writing for.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Reading Essentials for Aspiring Composers - Principles of Orchestration</image:title>
      <image:caption>Nikolay Rimsky Korsakov, published in 1965 by Dover Publications Ltd. Order from Bookshop.org / Waterstones This book will undoubtedly be of value to any composer. In it, Korsakov aims to provide the reader with the fundamental principles of modern orchestration from the standpoint of brilliance and imagination, and he devotes considerable space to the study of tonal resonance and orchestral combination. In his course, he demonstrates such things as how to produce a good-sounding chord of certain tone-quality, uniformly distributed; how to detach a melody from its harmonic setting; correct progression of parts; and other similar problems. “This is a fantastic resource which fills the gaps which Adler misses, making it an essential pairing for a composer’s desk. One drawback to note is it only uses examples from Korsakov’s own music - but again, Adler makes up for this with his examples.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Reading Essentials for Aspiring Composers - 20th Century Harmony: Creative Aspects and Practices</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vincent Persichetti, published in 1961 by W. W. Norton &amp; Company. Order from Amazon Here for the first time is an orderly presentation of the harmonic procedures to be found in music of the first half of the twentieth-century. The author examines the nature of intervals in various contexts, discusses the modes and other scales employed in modern music, describes the formation and uses of chords by thirds, by fourths, and by seconds, of added-note chords and polychords; he deals with different types of harmonic motion, with harmonic rhythm and dynamic sand ornamentation, with harmonic behaviour in tonality, polytonality, atonality and serial composition. “Despite its many reviews as the go-to book for harmony, it is not a book to learn simple harmony from - understandable as it is 20th Century harmony after all. Despite having read through the book, it still requires several read throughs and referencing when putting its teachings into practice. Once you manage to understand its pages, its influence and resourcefulness will only grow.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Arnold Schoenberg, published in 1999 by Faber &amp; Faber Order from Waterstones / World of Books This book represents the culmination of more than forty years in Schoenberg's life devoted to the teaching of musical principles to students and composers in Europe and America. For his classes he developed a manner of presentation in which 'every technical matter is discussed in a very fundamental way, so that at the same time it is both simple and thorough'. “If you’re looking for a resource away from ABRSM theory books, this, along with its music analysis and compositional tuition is a great fit, representing the culmination of Schoenberg’s compositional experience. Whilst it could be challenging to those with a limited theory knowledge, it has a variety of musical examples to help guide you through its teachings.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Reading Essentials for Aspiring Composers - The Study of Counterpoint</image:title>
      <image:caption>Johann Joseph Fux, published in 1965 by W. W. Norton &amp; Company Order from Bookshop.org / Waterstones The most celebrated book on counterpoint is Fux's great theoretical work Gradus ad Parnassum. Since its appearance in 1725, it has been used by and has directly influenced the work of many of the greatest composers. J. S. Bach held it in high esteem, Leopold Mozart trained his famous son from its pages, Haydn worked out every lesson with meticulous care, and Beethoven condensed it into an abstract for ready reference.  “Whilst recent textbooks are more refined, the core of this book is undisputed and its influence on classical composers is undeniable. Formatted as a conversation between a student and pupil, it starts progressing through the five species of counterpoint to reach four part composition and florid counterpoint.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Elaine Gould, published in 2011 by Faber Music Order from Bookshop.org / Waterstones / World of Books This is the indispensable reference book for composers, arrangers, teachers and students of composition, editors, and music processors. In the most thorough and painstakingly researched book to be published since the 1980s, specialist music editor Elaine Gould provides a comprehensive grounding in notational principles. It covers everything from basic rules, conventions and themes to complex instrumental techniques, empowering the reader to prepare music with total clarity and precision. “Despite perhaps being a worrying price tag for some, this book is a real treasure trove as its author is the former Music Editor at Faber Music during the height of notation exiting traditional dots and blobs during the 20th Century. Packed with examples, this book covers everything, down to the very minute details - even the length of note stems!”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Reading Essentials for Aspiring Composers - Music Notation in Twentieth Century</image:title>
      <image:caption>Kurt Stone, published in 1980 by W. W. Norton &amp; Company Order from Waterstones Stone is undoubtedly one of the world's leading authorities on contemporary music notation and its problems. As head of the Index of New Musical Notation, he collected and categorised the myriad new devices appearing in published music of this century. In collaboration with professional performers and conductors, he evaluated these devices in order to determine their effectiveness in practical application. At the International Conference on New Music Notation 1974, a consensus was sought from the eighty participating musicians from eighteen different countries. The results have been incorporated into this volume in the clearest and most direct way.  “Organised to facilitate the location of specific information and for easy reference, this book is a minutely detailed index making it an additional and indispensable tool alongside Gould’s resource.”</image:caption>

The book was written to help people with artistic creative recovery, which teaches techniques and exercises to assist people in gaining self-confidence in harnessing their creative talents and skills. “Introduced to me by an actor, each chapter can be accompanied by an additional workbook allowing you to record and reflect week-by-week. Whilst not directly related to composition itself, in an age of technology and the destructive power faceless criticism holds, this is a resource sure to help with procrastination and the inevitable creative imposter syndrome.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Dale Trumbore, published in 2022 by Yale University Press Order from Waterstones All artists have doubts and anxieties. What are yours? Managing procrastination, anxiety, and creative blocks? Knowing how to trust your work? Dealing with other people? Balancing the need to push through to the end of a work while keeping your health and sanity? Handling rejection . . . and your own success? Dale Trumbore has faced each of these issues as a composer who achieved her own definition of success by age 30.  “An ideal accompaniment to Cameron’s book, Trumbore breaks down each obstacle to a creative career and presents workable strategies for a long-range, manageable, and meaningful life in the arts.”</image:caption>

Quavors sing choral arrangements of queer and indie/alternative pop/folk songs, but are still finding their musical ‘groove’ and having a lot of fun in the process. They are intending to be a group of 12 mixed voice singers and are recruiting to all sections but are very keen to welcome soprano and alto range voices. They rehearse on alternate Wednesday evenings in Earl’s Court. Their rehearsals can often be in workshop form where the members get an opportunity to create and compose their own arrangements and enjoy the freedom of expression and creativity that being in a small group brings.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>John Cage (1987) Duration: 639 years YouTube / Spotify Originally written for organ or piano, a performance usually lasts between 20-70 minutes, however its 21st Century fame comes from a particular performance in St. Burchardi church in Halberstadt. Commencing in 2001, the piece is scheduled to conclude in 2640, making it the longest running non-computerised piece currently being performed.

With no specificity of instrument given, the piece is inscribed with “In order to play the motif 840 times in succession, it would be advisable to prepare oneself beforehand, and in the deepest silence, by serious immobilities."

Whilst they are performed individually, he intended for them to be performed sequentially. A full performance of the cycle takes place over four nights at the opera, with a total playing time equating to roughly 15 hours of music.  *Premiere as a cycle -  individual opera premiere dates precede 1876</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Karlheinz Stockhausen (2003) Duration: 29 hours YouTube Translating to, Light “The Seven Days of the Week,” it is a cycle of seven operas - one for each day of the week. Described by the composer as an "eternal spiral,” performing such a work is a challenge not only due to its length, but also due to its changing requirements. For example, in many cases each scene is designed for a different configuration of musicians, ranging from scenes written for a cappella choir, to orchestra with synthesiser, to string quartet playing from helicopters above the concert hall. As such, arrangements and selections of scenes are typically programmed separately.</image:caption>

Whilst mainly of a Christian focus, it incorporates a variety of beliefs across a 850-page score. It was commissioned for the Temple Church in London and is split into 8 cycles.

      <image:caption>Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji (1930) Duration: 5 hours YouTube / Spotify Arguably some of Sorabji’s most famous work (alongside his 9 hour Organ Symphony and 100 Transcendental Etudes), this one-movement piano work was the longest non-repetitive piano composition ever published at the time of its completion. Along with its length, it is also one of the most technically demanding pieces of music due to its rhythmic complexity, with the composer himself describing the final pages as, “cataclysmic and… grinds like the mills of God.” Opus clavicembalisticum has twelve movements of hugely varying magnitudes: from a three-minute-long cadenza to an hour-long interlude, containing a toccata, adagio, and passacaglia (with 81 variations).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Havergal Brian (1919-27) Duration: 110 minutes YouTube / Spotify It is easy to associate ‘longest symphony’ with Mahler however Brian’s Gothic Symphony surpasses Mahler’s 3rd in length. Although there are longer symphonies in the wider symphonic repertoire, Brian’s is programmed just as regularly. Its Gothic element stems from the vision of the Gothic age and humanity’s artistic and intellectual advances - particularly in its architecture of great European cathedrals. The scale of the choral finale, which took several years to complete, appears to showcase this grandeur in scale. Staggeringly, there are 54 staves to a page and it was dedicated to Richard Strauss.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Morton Feldman (1983) Duration: 6 hours YouTube / Spotify The longest quartet in the string quartet repertoire, it is a quiet, subtly alternating piece which has been described as becoming part of the environment in which it is listened to or performed. The American composer Christian Wulff, a companion of Feldman’s, opines that, like other unusually long pieces of his, Feldman’s Second String Quartet is a provocation against musical institutions; none of the works could fit into any conventional concert situation - the pieces challenge such situations and, indirectly, the social system they represent.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Gregor A. Mayrhofer (2021) YouTube The topic of environmental destruction dominates this moment in time. In particular we must urgently decide what to do about our trash, waste and poisonous materials. Mayrhofer saw this as an opportunity to address the issues in a musical way and composed a concerto for recycled percussion and orchestra dedicated to the young percussionist Vivi Vassileva.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 15 "Unconventional" Concertos - Concerto for Water Percussion and Orchestra</image:title>
      <image:caption>Tan Dun (1998) YouTube / Spotify This concerto for multiple instruments almost has to be seen as much as heard. The soloist, moving around throughout the performance, drips, splashes and trickles their way through the work, ‘playing’ the surface of water in amplified bowls, bowing the rods of the hand-held ‘waterphone’ and beating the ends of pipes immersed in water, among other things. For the composer Tan Dun, this theatrical work represents his own memories of water, from the natural sounds of rushing rivers to laundry day and childhood play.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Andy Akiho (2015) YouTube Akiho has developed a reputation for writing music which often makes use of metallic sounds and incorporates elements of theatre. His Ping-Pong Concerto not only gives centre stage to his preferred instrumental medium - percussion - and one with strong Chinese and Western associations - the violin - but it also incorporates a ping pong tournament.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Tonia Ko (2023) YouTube Breath, Contained are works created for increasingly larger forces with Breath, Contained III being a concerto scored for amplified bubble wrap with orchestra. It features imaginative orchestrations of a unique solo instrument, consisting of various sizes and shapes of air packaging. Ko has been developing these airy techniques since 2013, and this practice has run parallel to her composition work for more traditional mediums. An inexplicable reluctance to pop the bubbles reflects emotional qualities of the work: pent-up energy, unreleased emotions… breath, contained. All packaging material in performances so far has been scavenged or donated by the community.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Gabriel Prokofiev (2006) YouTube / Spotify Prokofiev wrote Concerto for Turntables and Orchestra in 2006 during a time when he was wrestling with his creative loyalties between classical and electronic music. According to Prokofiev, a promoter asked him to write a concerto for a DJ using turntables, with the aim of bringing classical music to new places and new people. At first he didn't like the idea - thinking it might turn out to sound terrible - but then he had a brainwave. What if the turntable player used the sounds created by the orchestra and manipulated them? It would be like a battle of sounds.</image:caption>

The only requirement is that their choices match the instrumentalists’ musical endeavours. Interestingly, the concept of the piece allows an alternative performer of another medium to be substituted as the soloists. Changing the title as a result, this can include, Concerto for Juggler and Orchestra, Concerto for Plumber and Orchestra, allowing the piece to take on a life of its own during each performance.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Unsuk Chin (2009) YouTube / Spotify Chin demonstrates her absolutely masterful control of timbre in this piece, particularly in the way instrumental colors blend in and out with each other. The piece begins small, with only the solo sheng in slow meditative rhythm. Over the course of the piece, the intensity of rhythm and orchestration gradually builds up. This culminates in a highly rhythmic climax section before returning to the calm of the introduction, now laid upon an incredibly eerie soundscape formed by percussion and strings.</image:caption>

After its conception, O’Boyle’s concerto soon earned a permanent place in the Australian classical repertoire; ranking #32 in ABC Classic FM’s “The Classic 100 Concertos” and ranked #87 in the 2011 ABC Classic 100 “20th Century”.</image:caption>

In Dancefloor with Pulsing, an earthly symphonic orchestra receives a visit from a Martian spaceship equipped with an extraordinary onboard dance floor. The extraterrestrial sounds are produced by the theremin, an instrument invented in 1919 by the Russian physicist Lev Theremin that has recently become popular again in the electronic music scene.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Georg Friedrich Haas (2014) YouTube The sound and music of alphorns have been occasionally evoked in Western art music, most famously the traditional Swiss Ranz des Vaches, quoted in Rossini’s opera Guillaume Tell and Berlioz’ Symphonie fantastique. The result here by Haas is a mixture of eerie and pulsing delicacy, emulating the natural scenery of Vorarlberg where he was brought up. Rather than offering a picturesque insight into the peaks and meadows Haas offers a psychological landscape fraught with fear and trembling.</image:caption>

This documentary follows her as she performs in New York, Germany and Tokyo, sharing her insights into the nature of music and the ways in which we experience it.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Published in 1995 by Cadenza Music SATB 3:00 minutes Difficulty: Hard YouTube / Spotify / sheet music There is No Rose, for unaccompanied SATB choir, is among the earliest works that Frances-Hoad acknowledges (she was only 14). Winner of the Bach Choir Carol Competition of 1995, it was premiered at the Royal Albert Hall during their Christmas Concert of that year. Despite its immediate attractiveness, this is no simple carol but a partsong that meditates upon its text. Frances-Hoad's control of diatonic harmony, sometimes with modal, sometimes with slightly bluesy implications, and the deft way she negotiates between the poem's English and Latin elements is undeniable.</image:caption>

An exuberant, provocative story that confronts race, complicity, visibility, and ideals of femininity, The Fetishist was written before the celebrated author's untimely death in 2019. Startlingly present, as wise and powerful as it is utterly delightful, this novel cements Katherine Min's legacy as a writer with a singular voice for our times.</image:caption>

Once an internationally renowned pianist, a terrible skin disease has attacked his hands and made it impossible for him to perform.

Housekeeper.’ She begins to work in William’s house, keeping to herself the knowledge that they have met three times before – encounters that have changed her life, to which he is oblivious.  Gripping and lyrical, The Well of Saint Nobody is a story of love, secrets and the elusive possibility of second chances.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Alejo Carpentier, translated by Adrian Nathan West Paperback published in January 2024 Bookshop.org / Waterstones A new translation of a classic by Alejo Carpentier (1904-1980).  Dissatisfied with his empty, Sisyphus-like existence in New York City, where he has abandoned his creative dreams for a job in corporate advertising, an aspiring composer wants nothing more than to tear his life up from the root. He soon finds his escape hatch: a university-sponsored mission to South America to look for indigenous musical instruments in one of the few areas of the world safely untouched by the industrial world. Retracing the steps of time, he voyages with his lover into a land that feels outside of history, searching not just for music but ultimately for himself, and turning away from modernity towards the very heart of what makes us human.</image:caption>

Life whirled headily around cocktails, romance, applause and the buzz of Budapest late into the night. Then, 1939. Stephen's world disintegrates and this becomes a story of his brutal descent, of his time in labour camps, and the unimaginable horrors he endured during the Holocaust as a man of Jewish descent. Yet, this is also a tale of extraordinary escape ... and the piano, waiting for him. The same piano that Roxanne de Bastion, his granddaughter, inherits when her father dies. It has been in the family over one hundred years but it is only when, deep in grief, she discovers a cassette recording of Stephen, that the astonishing history of the piano, the man and her family begins to unravel. Weaving together his original recordings, unpublished memoirs, letters and documents, Roxanne sings out her grandfather's story of music and hope, lost and found.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Deborah Levy, published in 2023 by Penguin Books Buy on Bookshop.org / Waterstones At the height of her career, concert pianist Elsa M. Anderson - former child prodigy, now in her 30s - walks off the stage in Vienna, mid-performance. Now she is in Athens, watching as another young woman, a stranger but uncannily familiar - almost her double - purchases a pair of mechanical dancing horses at a flea market. Elsa wants the horses too, but there are no more for sale. She drifts to the ferry port, on the run from her talent and her history. So begins a journey across Europe, shadowed by the elusive woman who bought the dancing horses. A dazzling portrait of melancholy and metamorphosis, August Blue uncovers the ways in which we seek to lose an old story, find ourselves in others and create ourselves anew.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Rose Tremain, published in 2016 by Chatto &amp; Windus Buy on Bookshop.org / Waterstones What is the difference between friendship and love? Or between neutrality and commitment? Gustav Perle grows up in a small town in 'neutral' Switzerland, where the horrors of the Second World War seem a distant echo. But Gustav's father has mysteriously died, and his adored mother Emilie is strangely cold and indifferent to him. Gustav's childhood is spent in lonely isolation, his only toy a tin train with painted passengers staring blankly from the carriage windows. As time goes on, an intense friendship with a boy of his own age, Anton Zwiebel, begins to define Gustav's life. Jewish and mercurial, a talented pianist tortured by nerves when he has to play in public, Anton fails to understand how deeply and irrevocably his life and Gustav's are entwined.</image:caption>

A chance encounter on the train with a beautiful young woman upends Sami's plans and changes his life forever. Elio soon moves to Paris, where he, too, has a consequential affair, while Oliver, now a New England college professor with a family, suddenly finds himself contemplating a return trip across the Atlantic. Aciman is a master of sensibility, of the intimate details and the emotional nuances that are the substance of passion. Find Me brings us back inside the magic circle of one of our greatest contemporary romances to ask if, in fact, true love ever dies.</image:caption>

As Europe hurtles toward political catastrophe and Horowitz ascends to the pinnacle of artistic achievement, the great pianist must hide his illicit love from his wife Wanda, daughter of renowned conductor Arturo Toscanini. Based on unpublished letters by Horowitz to Kaufmann, the book portrays the anguish that the acclaimed musician felt about his never-publicly acknowledged homosexuality and the attendant duplicity of his personal life.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Jo Browning Wroe, published by Faber &amp; Faber Bookshop.org / Waterstones Choral music is elegantly woven throughout this novel about ex-Cambridge chorister William Lavery, who is having the night of his life at his first black-tie do. As the evening unfolds, news hits of a landslide at a coal mine. It has buried a school: Aberfan. William decides he must act, so he stands and volunteers to attend as an embalmer. His work that night will force him to think about the little boy he was, and the losses he has worked so hard to forget. But compassion can have surprising consequences, because - as William discovers - giving so much to others can sometimes help us heal ourselves.</image:caption>

They are both swept away by the immediacy and intensity of their connection. Gradually, it dawns upon them both that their feelings for one another may be more than platonic but dare they risk a romantic entanglement if it threatens this most perfect of friendships? Suffused with music, literature, film, art and the pure pain and pleasure of first love, 28 Questions offers a queer take on that line from When Harry Met Sally about men and women not being able to be friends because the sex always gets in the way.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Imogen Crimp, published by Bloomsbury Bookshop.org / Waterstones Anna is struggling to afford life in London as she trains to be a singer. During the day, she vies to succeed against her course mates with their discreet but inexhaustible streams of cultural capital and money, and in the evening she sings jazz at a bar in the City to make ends meet. Here she meets Max, a financier 14 years older than her. Over the course of one winter, Anna’s intoxication oscillates between her hard-won moments on stage, where she can zip herself into the skin of her characters, and nights spent with Max in his glass-walled flat overlooking the city. But Anna’s fledgling career demands her undivided attention, and increasingly – whether he necessarily wills it or not – so does Max…</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Nell Stevens, published by Pan Macmillan Bookshop.org / Waterstones In 1838 Frédéric Chopin, George Sand and her children travel to a monastery in Mallorca. They are there to create and to convalesce, to live a simple life after the wildness of their Paris days. Witness to this tumultuous arrival is Blanca, the ghost of a teenage girl who has been at the monastery for over 300 years. Having lived in a world full, according to her mother, of ‘beautiful men’, she has found that in death it is the women she falls for. And then George Sand arrives, this beautiful woman in a man’s clothes, and Blanca is in love. But the rest of the village is suspicious of the newcomers, and as George tries to keep her family and herself from falling apart, as Chopin writes prelude after prelude in despair on his tuneless piano, their stay looks likely to end in disaster…</image:caption>

      <image:caption>James Runcie, published by Bloomsbury Bookshop.org / Waterstones In 1727, Stefan Silbermann is a grief-stricken 13-year-old, struggling with the death of his mother and his removal to a school in distant Leipzig. Despite his father's insistence that he try not to think of his mother too much, Stefan is haunted by her absence, and, to make matters worse, he's bullied by his new classmates. But when the school's cantor, Johann Sebastian Bach, takes notice of his new pupil's beautiful singing voice and draws him from the choir to be a soloist, Stefan's life is permanently changed. Over the course of the next several months, and under Bach's careful tutelage, Stefan's musical skill progresses, and he is allowed to work as a copyist for Bach's many musical works. But mainly, drawn into Bach's family life and away from the cruelty in the dorms and the lonely hours of his mourning, Stefan begins to feel at home. When another tragedy strikes, this time in the Bach family, Stefan bears witness to the depths of grief, the horrors of death, the solace of religion, and the beauty that can spring from even the most profound losses.</image:caption>

Both now in their 20s, they find themselves encountering ridiculous jobs, unfulfilling romantic relationships, and the outrageousness of ordinary life. Doomed by fate, a family history of failure, an odd mother, an absent father, and a younger brother with a peculiar fondness for catastrophes, the two siblings have all but given up. But when an illness forces Isobel to move back into the family home with her 3-year-old daughter, everything changes for Aleks. Over the course of several months, he becomes deeply involved in the endless challenges that surround his relatives. Once Isobel begins playing cello again and announces her intention to audition for an amateur symphony, Aleks comes to see a world of possibility and wonder in the lives of his extraordinarily complicated family.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Jennifer Atkins, published by Peninsula Press Bookshop.org / Waterstones Luc has lived a long time as a soloist. She has not seen Billy for many years. A visit to a major show of his sculptures sends her arrowing back to a younger version of herself: to a time when she had to make room to love him when she'd felt no room within herself. To a time when she was forced to make a choice between being one thing or another. To a time when he was a sculptor, but she was not yet a cellist. The Cellist explores how you might make room for beauty and mastery for yourself, and still leave space for someone else. It asks what love and companionship costs: what happens when you are forced to cast yourself in the distorting light of another person's needs?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Isabel Rogers, published by Duckworth Books Bookshop.org / Waterstones After a brief and disastrous Resident Poet episode, Stockwell Park Orchestra is invited to take part in a TV competition for classical music. For a £50,000 prize some competitors are tempted to stretch the genre to ‘crossover’ and beyond. Can a full concert orchestra compete with jazz bands, horn quartets, harp ensembles, and Mrs Ford-Hughes singing in Portuguese with nine cellos? Or will the competition be derailed by the poet’s return, this time sporting live Ambient Sounds? The TV producers aren’t worried: they know a good fight means great ratings. What was supposed to be a quirky diversion threatens to take over the orchestra’s rehearsals for their own concert, but discovering a voting scam means they must fix things in the TV studio first.</image:caption>

The central theme of Miles Davis's life was his restless determination to break boundaries and live life on his own terms. It made him a star. It also made him incredibly difficult to live with for the people who loved him most. Again and again, in music and in life, Miles broke with convention - and when he thought his work came to represent a new convention, he changed it again. Miles's bold disregard for tradition, his clarity of vision, his relentless drive and constant thirst for new experiences made him an inspiring collaborator to fellow musicians and a cultural icon to generations of listeners. It made him an innovator in music - from bebop to cool jazz, modern quintets, orchestral music, jazz fusion, rock ‘n’ roll and even hip-hop.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sophy Roberts, 2021 (4/5 on Goodreads) Bookshop.org / Waterstones / Blackwell’s / Audible Siberia's story is traditionally one of exiles, penal colonies and unmarked graves. Yet there is another tale to tell. Dotted throughout this remote land are pianos - grand instruments created during the boom years of the 19th century, and humble, Soviet-made uprights that found their way into equally modest homes. They tell the story of how, ever since entering Russian culture under the influence of Catherine the Great, piano music has run through the country like blood. How these pianos travelled into this snow-bound wilderness in the first place is testament to noble acts of fortitude by governors, adventurers and exiles. That stately instruments might still exist in such a hostile landscape is remarkable. That they are still capable of making music in far-flung villages is nothing less than a miracle. But this is Siberia, where people can endure the worst of the world - and where music reveals a deep humanity in the last place on earth you would expect to find it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 25 Musical Novels: Classical Music Fiction - Meeting Mozart</image:title>
      <image:caption>Howard Jay Smith, 2020 (4.23 Goodreads) Waterstones / Blackwell’s A novel drawn from the secret diaries of Lorenzo Da Ponte. This is a deftly plotted and richly detailed historical novel that spans generations and involves Mozart, mysteries, masquerades, opera, and spies. It brings to light the incredible life story of Mozart’s librettist, Lorenzo Da Ponte, the Jewish-born priest who created The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Cosi Fan Tutte. According to one reviewer, Meeting Mozart is “the musical equivalent of The Da Vinci Code.” This is the follow-up novel to Howard Jay Smith’s award-winning novel, Beethoven in Love; Opus 139.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Composed by Francesca Caccini 1 hour 30 minutes The first opera written by a female composer, or at least the oldest that has survived the ages. It’s based on a passage from Ludovico Ariosto's fantasy verse novel titled Orlando Furioso. Caccini's opera changes the book's original story to expand the importance of women in the tale. In this rendition by Opera McGill, with the McGill Baroque Orchestra, the story from Alcina's enchanted island has been moved to a grand mansion full of magic and mysteries, complete with former lovers being trapped in picture frames hanging on the walls.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Full-Length Operas on YouTube - The Wreckers</image:title>
      <image:caption>Composed by Dame Ethel Smyth 2 hours 15 minutes This opera was written by Dame Ethel Smyth, an English composer and leader in the women’s suffrage movement, and premiered in 1906 in Germany. It’s about piracy, love, and betrayal in a community of religious fanatics. It concerns an isolated community in Cornwall that possesses a religiously based, fanatical self-regard that leads it to justify theft and murder as God-given rights and virtues. Led by the community’s own pastor who invokes Christianity, violence becomes the instrument of realizing God’s will. The opera depicts the consequences of mass hysteria and populist justice, framed by a powerful display of orchestral writing, memorable motivic recurrence, and a brilliant use of chorus. This production is by Bard SummerScape Opera with the American Symphony Orchestra.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart  2 hours This is a 2018 production by Livermore Valley Opera at the Bankhead Theater near San Francisco. It’s been watched around 25,000 times at the time of writing. “Mozart ushered in a new era in music history with this first of his operatic masterpieces. It tells of the rescue of the young Spaniard Konstanze and her friends by her fiancé Belmonte from the Ottoman Palace of Pascha Selim. Mozart transcends the popular “Turkish Music” fashion of the time with an opera of great emotional depth. Humanism triumphs at the end.  Virtuoso singing and brilliant orchestration of a kind previously unheard in Vienna prompted the Emperor Joseph II to exclaim “Too many notes”!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Full-Length Operas on YouTube - The Juniper Tree</image:title>
      <image:caption>Composed by Philip Glass 1 hour 15 minutes This take on the famous Grimm fairy tale is “charming and chilling, a children's opera for thinking children (also known as ‘adults’)” (The New York Times). It tells of a Wicked Stepmother who murders her stepson and serves him up in a stew to his unsuspecting father. The boy’s sister buries her brother’s bones under a Juniper Tree, and the child’s spirit returns as a singing bird who wreaks vengeance on the evil Stepmother before being restored to life in the bosom of his family. The performance is by Wolf Trap Opera, one of the most highly regarded residency programmes for emerging opera professionals in the US.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Full-Length Operas on YouTube - The Cunning Little Vixen</image:title>
      <image:caption>Composed by Leoš Janáček  1 hour 40 minutes The Cunning Little Vixen is a Czech-language opera, composed in the 1920s. This production, with English subtitles, is from the Opéra national de Paris at the Opéra Bastille opera house. It’s been watched around 12,000 times on YouTube. This is Janáček’s lightest opera, despite the vixen’s death at the end of the work. The composer moved away from the more conversational style of previous and subsequent operas in favour of a more folk-like-style, and wove into its fabric some of his most experimental opera concepts (ballet, mime, and orchestral interludes). Writing his own libretto, he transformed the comedic cartoon into a philosophical reflection on the cycle of life and death by including the death of the vixen. This opera shows a deep understanding of life leading to the return of simplicity.”</image:caption>

It’s currently had around 77,000 views on YouTube. The story is based on Book IV of Virgil's Aeneid. It recounts the love of Dido, Queen of Carthage, for the Trojan hero Aeneas, and her despair when he abandons her.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Full-Length Operas on YouTube - Alice in Wonderland</image:title>
      <image:caption>Composed by Unsuk Chin 2 hours Unsuk Chin was born in Seoul and is now resident in Berlin. Her opera Alice in Wonderland, first performed in 2007 and based on the Lewis Carroll books Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, is very Tim Burton-esque: “It is a dream opera with a dark side” (Los Angeles Times). The production by the Bavarian State Opera is available on YouTube. Alice's dream starts with the arrival of the White Rabbit in a hurry, and then we rediscover during the two-hour show mythical characters, from the Cheshire Cat to the Mad Hatter, including all the animals of the tale. It contains many references to composers like Ravel, Handel, Elgar, Stravinsky and Puccini and features many unusual instruments such as musical saws, slide whistles, an accordion, a harmonica, and a bass clarinet, a homage to George Gershwin.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Composed by Lewis Murphy 53 minutes A youth opera exploring the experiences of young people forced by war to flee their homes, composed in 2017 by Lewis Murphy, who was Glyndebourne’s Young Composer-in-Residence. Belongings tracks the journeys of two groups of young people, divided by decades but united by the geographical displacement they experience. Accompanied by their teacher, a group of evacuees board the train from London to Lewes to escape the Blitz, singing of the exciting adventure they anticipate in the countryside. Their optimism fades as they begin to pine for home, and one group decides to run away. Meanwhile, in the present day, a group of refugee children are rebuilding their recently demolished shelters. They try to remain positive while contemplating the dangerous final stage of their journeys.  © Glyndebourne Productions Ltd. Photo: Robert Workman</image:caption>

One glance at us once we’ve walked offstage – exhausted, dishevelled, drenched in sweat – confirms that we’ve not only been pouring our hearts into our music, but also our bodies. Thus, like athletes, we should be encouraged to nurture, prepare, and congratulate our bodies for performing those miraculous feats of which they are capable.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Black Classical Composers - Samuel Coleridge-Taylor</image:title>
      <image:caption>Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) was an English composer, conductor and political activist. His father began teaching him the violin at a young age, and he studied at the Royal College of Music, composing under the guidance of Charles Stanford. Incorporating black traditional music with concert music – with compositions such as African Suite, African Romances and Twenty Four Negro Melodies – he was a progressive writer of his time. Despite the black community’s ongoing battle against racism, his piece Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast was so popular that he embarked on three tours of the United States, and was invited by President Theodore Roosevelt to visit the White House. Coleridge-Taylor was only 37 when he died of pneumonia.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Black Classical Composers - Florence Price</image:title>
      <image:caption>Florence Price (1887-1953) was the first African-American woman to be recognised as a symphonic composer, and the first to have a composition played by a major orchestra (her Symphony in E minor was performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1933). Price was born in Arkansas to a music teacher mother and a dentist father. Following encouragement from her mother, she studied at the New England Conservatory of Music. Even though her training was steeped in European tradition, Price's music consists mostly of the American idiom and reveals her Southern roots. Being deeply religious, she frequently used the music of the African-American church as material for her arrangements.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Black Classical Composers - Julius Eastman</image:title>
      <image:caption>Julius Eastman (1940-1990) was an American composer, pianist, vocalist and dancer, whose music plays a vital part in the emergence of post-minimalism. His pieces addressed his status as a black gay composer in a white-dominated musical elite, in composition titles such as Evil Nigger and Gay Guerrilla. During his lifetime he achieved more notoriety as a performer than as a composer, touring with Meredith Monk and performing at Lincoln Center with Pierre Boulez. In his later years, he got caught up in drugs or mental illness or both. He was evicted from his home and made no attempt to recover recordings of his own music, which had been dumped on the street by his old landlord. Eastman died homeless and alone in New York, and his death was unreported until eight months later, which was when his friends and colleagues got the news.</image:caption>

Her output includes over 100 pieces, only 26 of which were published during her lifetime. Her most significant work, Scenes from the Life of a Martyr (based on the life of Martin Luther King) premiered at Carnegie Hall in 1981 and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. She said: “One of the most evil effects of racism in my time was the limits it placed upon the aspirations of blacks, so that though I have been ‘making up’ and creating music all my life, in my childhood or even in college I would not have thought of calling myself a composer or aspiring to be one.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>William Grant Still (1895-1978) achieved many ‘firsts’: he was the first black composer to have a symphony performed by a major orchestra (the African-American Symphony by the New York Philharmonic in 1935), the first black composer to have an opera performed by a major opera company, (Troubled Island by the New York City Opera in 1949), and also the first to conduct a major American symphony orchestra (the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1936). Still composed nearly 200 works, including five symphonies and nine operas. He received a whole host of honours, including the Guggenheim fellowship and 9 honorary doctorates from colleges across the US.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Black Classical Composers - Julia Perry</image:title>
      <image:caption>Born in Kentucky, Julia Perry (1924-1979) was a composer and teacher who combined European classical and neo-classical training with her African-American heritage. She began her studies at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, then was later tutored by Nadia Boulanger (the foremost teacher of composition in the 20th century) in Paris, during which time she was awarded the Boulanger Grand Prix for her Viola Sonata. Perry also wrote two operas and an opera ballet as well as 12 symphonies. In 1973, Perry suffered a series of strokes which left her right side paralysed. She taught herself how to write with her left hand so she could continue to compose. Unfortunately, her music has not been widely recorded.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Black Classical Composers - George Walker</image:title>
      <image:caption>George Walker (1922-2018) was the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music (in 1996, for his song cycle Lilacs). His biography is a series of firsts: the first black graduate of the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia (1945), the first black musician to play New York’s Town Hall (also 1945), the first black recipient of a doctorate from the Eastman School (1955), the first black tenured faculty member at Smith College (1961) to name a few. Many of his nearly 100 compositions have been recorded, ranging from symphonic works and concertos to intimate songs and solo piano pieces. Tom Service writes: “While there are traces of Walker’s musical heroes – such as Hindemith and Stravinsky – in his musical language, he has created a distinctive world that is modernist and multifaceted yet richly communicative.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Black Classical Composers - Chevalier de Saint-Georges</image:title>
      <image:caption>Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges (1745-1799) was a composer, virtuoso violinist, champion fencer and army leader. A contemporary of Mozart, he is known for being one of the first classical composers of African ancestry. He wrote two symphonies, several concertos, much chamber music and at least six operas. Saint-Georges was born in Guadeloupe to a wealthy plantation owner and his wife's African slave. He was educated in France and became the leader of a good Parisian orchestra, performing his concertos with them. During the French Revolution, he served as a colonel of the Légion St.-Georges, the first all-black regiment in Europe. Throughout his life Bologne pursued both fencing and music which was supported and funded by his father, despite being of mixed heritage by a woman who wasn’t his wife.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Composer and pianist Margaret Bonds (1913-1972) was born in Chicago to musicians. Her parents separated when she was two and she was subsequently raised by her mother. Many leading artistic figures would visit the house, including Florence Price, who became her piano and composition teacher. In 1929, she was one of the only black students to attend Northwestern University, where faced constant racism and prejudice (she was only allowed to study there but not live or use their facilities). Aged 22 she became the first black soloist to appear with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. She experienced success as a performer and classical composer, and also branched out to other genres, writing music for the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Louis Armstrong and Cab Calloway.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - 10 Black Classical Composers - George Bridgetower</image:title>
      <image:caption>George Bridgetower (1780-1860) was a virtuoso violinist and composer born to a Polish mother and a West Indian father, who was a servant in Prince Esterházy’s Hungarian castle, where the established composer Joseph Haydn was working as Kappelmeister. During his childhood, Bridgetower performed many successful concerts in England and France, earning him the interest of the Prince of Wales (George IV) who paid for his musical education. Bridgetower then became the principal violinist in his private orchestra for the next 14 years. He met and performed with Beethoven in Vienna in 1803. Beethoven dedicated his Violin Sonata No.9 to Bridgetower and gifted him a tuning fork (which can now be found in the British Library). He died in Peckham and is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>X / Instagram / Spotify / Soundcloud Belize-born British composer Errollyn Wallen CBE (b.1958) is the first black woman to have a work performed at The Proms. Commenting on this in The Guardian, she said: “it feels embarrassing to have to draw attention to the fact that there are still so few people of colour in the classical music industry.” Wallen recently presented ‘A Racist Music’ on BBC Radio 3, exploring and challenging the legacy of John Powell (1882-1963), a once-celebrated composer whose racist politics scarred the lives of generations of Americans. Wallen was awarded a CBE in the 2020 New Year Honours, and in 2013 was awarded an Ivor Novello Award for Classical Music. She has penned operas, choral symphonies, pop songs, piano solos, pieces for string quartet and more, drawing on a range of influences including avant-garde classical music and popular songwriting.</image:caption>

In 1970 she won the Royal Schools of Music Scholarship for the West Indies, which allowed her to study piano and singing at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Alberga’s dazzling and giddying String Quartet No. 1 was inspired by a lecture on physics and the fact that everything, including our own bodies, are essentially made of stardust. She claims as her influences 20th-century composers Dmitri Shostakovich, Sergei Prokofiev, Igor Stravinsky and Olivier Messiaen.</image:caption>

Her music has been performed by a whole host of UK professional groups including London Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Singers, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and Philharmonia Orchestra. Kendall’s composition process starts with a graphic score, then she harmonises the structure at the piano and finally puts it all on the computer. Her piece The Spark Catchers, which she describes as ‘punchy, dynamic and full of kinetic energy’, was performed by Chineke!, the UK’s first majority BAME orchestra, at the BBC Proms.</image:caption>

He has taught music at all educational levels, as well as making music through composing, performing as a pianist and conducting.

Herbert says: ‘Music is becoming a cultural preserve that is gradually only becoming accessible to those who are from wealthy backgrounds. This is a huge concern for future generations’. His piece Elegy: In Memoriam looks to the story of 18-year-old Stephen Lawrence, who was murdered in a racially motivated attack in 1993.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Instagram / Spotify / Soundcloud Canadian composer Stewart Goodyear (b.1978) is busy balancing work as a composer and performer, and is best known for performing all 32 Beethoven sonatas in a single day (a marathon at around 10 hours of music). At the age of three he listened to an entire 12-LP set of Beethoven’s piano sonatas in a day and started composing at the age of eight when at a choir school in Toronto. Goodyear says “the only way for classical music to remain vibrant and relevant is for artists to continue creating, thinking outside the comfort zone, reaching out to all audiences and cultures”. His Piano Sonata was composed as a response to the music he heard as a teenager, including Franz Liszt (“hence the virtuosity in the piano writing”), techno music, smooth pop, Latin-infused dance, Canadian folk and rock ’n roll.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Instagram / Spotify / Soundcloud American composer, performer and media artist Pamela Z (b.1956) works primarily with voice, live electronic processing, sampled sound, and video. A pioneer of live digital looping techniques, she processes her voice in real time to create dense, complex sonic layers. She has composed scores for dance, film, and chamber ensembles (including Kronos Quartet and Eighth Blackbird). Z’s most popular piece on Spotify, Bone Music is for voice, electronics and 5 gallon plastic water bottle. It layers a haunting, wordless melody and frenetic, processed chattering in an imaginary language over the polyrhythm of three boomy, percussive delay loops.  Her solo works combine experimental extended vocal techniques, operatic bel canto, found objects, text, digital processing, and wireless MIDI controllers that allow her to manipulate sound with physical gestures.</image:caption>

Her cycle Songs of Harriet Tubman has become established repertoire for African American sopranos; her Voices Shouting Out has been on statewide music education curricula with Virginia Symphony and Grand Rapids Symphony; and her suite African Sketches has been performed by pianists around the globe.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The musical version of a book club. Invite a few friends to bring a track they’re listening to at the moment and share something about it. Everyone listens, then you have a chat afterwards. Or you can take the Desert Island Discs Challenge: share the eight tracks you’d take to a desert island, along with one book and a luxury item. Speaking of Desert Island Discs, there are thousands of past episodes to dig into.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Mix up your workout routine by running 5km in the time it takes to listen to Beethoven’s 5th Symphony (da-da-da-DUM). Pick your recording carefully as they’re all different lengths… 31 minutes for the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique recording, just over 30 minutes for the Philharmonia one and around 29 minutes for the London Symphony Orchestra. The Vienna Philharmonic goes slightly slower at 33 minutes and the New York Philharmonic version is more like 36 minutes.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Always wanted to learn a musical instrument? As well as being fun, it’s a great way of supporting musicians in lockdown. You can find a teacher on Music Teachers UK. If you’re thinking kindly upon your neighbours and housemates, you can do online listening classes instead: musician and broadcaster Sandy Burnett runs weekly classes on a Morning morning looking at a great piece of classical music in each, with insights, context and a Q&amp;A.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you’re missing your regular rehearsals, fear not because there are heaps of virtual choirs and orchestras springing up all over the internet. It’s not quite the same but it’s something, and good to stay musically active. To take part, all you need is a phone/computer and pair of headphones. Sing/play as if no-one is listening because they won’t be!</image:caption>

Make your way through the British pods we’ve recommended (and check out the ones at the bottom, too, which have nothing to do with classical music). Happy listening!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The UK has been going wild for virtual pub quizzes during lockdown. Has anyone tried a music-themed quiz? Or musical bingo? This could work well for choirs and orchestras that can’t rehearse together at the moment but would still like to socialise.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Listen to a full symphony, concerto or album while on your daily walk to change the soundtrack of the local streets you probably know very well now. Or, for the atmospheric experience, dim the lights at home, light a candle, sink into the bath/sofa with a drink and press play. Voilà!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Books about the Alternative Classical Scene - We Break Strings</image:title>
      <image:caption>Thom Andrewes and Dimitri Djuric (2015)  This book documents the rise of the alternative classical music scene in London over the last 10 years, featuring photographs, interviews and essays. It presents the new music movement in which a new generation of composers and musicians are producing classical concerts in non-traditional venues, including warehouses, pubs, car parks and night clubs. Over 30 musicians, composers and promoters are interviewed, giving a sense of the breadth and complexity of ideas, motivations and influences behind this musical moment. The social, cultural and aesthetic implications of the scene are investigated by commentary and short essays.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Books about the Alternative Classical Scene - Present! Rethinking Live Classical Music</image:title>
      <image:caption>Johan Idema (2012)  This is a call to rethink live classical music by Dutch cultural innovator Johan Idema, who presents a unique selection of more than 40 cases from international pioneers - composers, performers, directors and presenters - who are reinvigorating the classical concert. Through this, Idema argues, we can make live classical music more exciting, relevant and approachable, which is needed more than ever as arts budgets are cut. Present! is a testimony to the idea that brilliantly performed classical music and rapt audiences are possible, often even more so, outside of conventional forums and formats.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I’m a big fan of this BBC Radio 3 show, which introduces public figures – comedians, novelists and TV presenters – to the world of classical music. Jules Buckley (who I interviewed) mixes each guest a bespoke playlist and we hear their first impressions. An accessible way to discover new tracks, and interesting to hear music you know through someone else’s ears. Past guests include Rob Delaney, Deborah Frances-White and Davina McCall.

      <image:caption>They sell themselves as ‘the best classical music podcast produced in a Brixton bedroom’ and I’m happy to award them this accolade. Tune in for a whizz through classical news from around the world, reviews, concert recommendations and music analysis (). There are usually several lol moments from the hosts Timmy Fisher and Sam Poppleton. Shout-out to their Twitter ‘guess the composer’ games and excellent jingles.

      <image:title>Articles - Classical Music Podcast Recommendations - That Classical Podcast</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dubbed as “the 20-somethings making classical music hilarious” by The Guardian, this is an upbeat pod to get on if you want to learn something (especially wacky composer facts) without feeling like you’re at school. Kelly and Sascha, who met while working at Classic FM, talk to you about classical music whilst making you laugh. Job’s a good ‘un!
