INTRODUCTION TO ROMANTIC MUSICWednesdays 24 April, 1 May and 8 May 5.00 pm – 6.15 pmand Wednesday 15 May 4.30 pm – 5.45 pm

The Romantic era is characterised by fascinating and compelling ideas such as the cult ofvirtuosity; the growing relationship between words and music; and the notion of expansion interms of length of work, size of orchestral forces and the musical language itself. There alsoemerged a split between the forces of ‘progress’, such as Liszt and Wagner, and conservativeslike Brahms and ultimately, at the end of the 19th century, modernism emerged from theembers of late romanticism. Roy Stratford will guide us through the fascinating story ofthis period with particular reference to the profound changes that occurred in the musicallanguage and introducing some of the amazing musicians who made it all happen.

THE CHAMBER MUSIC OF GABRIEL FAURÉ

The final Wigmore Study Group of the season explores the major chamber works ofGabriel Fauré; music that ‘intoxicated’ Proust, but which is arguably all too rarelyperformed, despite the popularity of the composer’s smaller miniatures.

Hosted by composer Julian Philips, thisStudy Group offers a mix of presentation, performance and discussion with postgraduatechamber musicians from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and visiting speakers.Linked to the concerts on 30 April, and 2 & 4 May at 7.30 pm.
