AUTUMN 2019           THE PRINCIPAL’S WELCOME

              Autumn is always an exciting time of year, with a fresh intake of
              talented students finding their feet in their new home. We kick
              off this term’s schedule with a series of Open Days to welcome
              prospective students and give them a flavour of Academy life, and
              we conclude on 1 December with the final concert of 2019 in our
              ‘Bach the European’ series.

              Reflecting the extraordinary variety on offer, the Academy Big Band
              treats us to a concert featuring celebrated bassist and composer
              Laurence Cottle, and also performs with Tim Garland as part of the
              EFG London Jazz Festival. Royal Academy Opera takes on Mozart’s
              delightful Die Zauberflöte, and our Musical Theatre students’ first term
              of hard work culminates in their show in the Susie Sainsbury Theatre.

              Students work with some of the best performers and conductors in
              the business, including Lorenza Borrani, who will direct the Academy
              Chamber Orchestra. The Academy Symphony Orchestra’s programme
              features Bartók, Rachmaninov and Prokofiev conducted by Edward
              Gardner; Stravinsky and Elgar with Robert Trevino; and a Berlioz
              extravaganza with Sir Mark Elder. Among those giving masterclasses
              are Simon Keenlyside, James Ehnes, Pascal Devoyon, Stephen Hough
              and Lucy Crowe, and for three days in November our new Oliver
              Knussen Chair of Composition, Hans Abrahamsen, will be in residence.

              Joanna MacGregor, Head of Piano, presents the second Autumn
              Piano Festival, this year entitled ‘Politics and Protest’, and the Academy
              Museum holds several half-term Children’s Events as part of its
              temporary exhibition, ‘What a Song and Dance’, which traces the
              development of musical theatre.

              We round off the term with the ever-popular annual Carol Service,
              which never fails to get us into the festive spirit!

              I look forward to welcoming you to the Academy over the
              coming months.
