WHAT'S ONMUSIC AND DANCE

WELCOME

Welcome to our Summer Guide – the season to catch our future stars of music, dance and musical theatre on the cusp of their professional careers, as all our departments showcase their skills and talents across a wide range of performances.

Our Music Faculty performances start in earnest with a Side by Side Symphony Orchestra concert with Welsh National Opera, followed by a concert series devoted to Debussy and the New Lights piano festival. Don’t miss our annual Symphony Orchestra concert at Cadogan Hall, this year conducted by Jessica Cottis and featuring Soloists’ Competition winner Helena Švigelj performing Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E minor.

Transitions Dance Company present the finale of their international tour at Laban Theatre with a triple bill by choreographers Richard Chappell (UK), Jarkko Partanen (Finland) and Hagit Yakira (Israel) while second year undergraduates perform significant works by major choreographers Merce Cunningham, José Limón, Wayne McGregor and Uday Shankar in Dance Legends Historical Project. Summer is also a great opportunity to see dance performances from across the Faculty, including site-specific works and exciting new choreography.

Trinity Laban Opera takes to the stage at Stratford Circus with Britten’s The Rape of Lucretia, a powerful and thought-provoking piece not to be missed.

Trinity Laban Musical Theatre presents Betty Blue Eyes and Crazy for You, also at Stratford Circus – both shows are theatrical treats featuring great music, dance and staging and promise to be superb nights out.

Summer also heralds our Summer Schools, where we welcome people from all over the world for a taster of Trinity Laban life. We’re also out and about at events including the Horniman Museum and Gardens Shared World Festival, sharing our work with our wider community. Come and join us – I look forward to seeing you!

TRINITY LABAN OPERA PRESENTS BRITTEN: THE RAPE OF LUCRETIADirector Laura Attridge Musical Director Jonathan Tilbrook Designer Lizzy Leech

Rome, 510BC. At a military camp outside the city, the Etruscan prince Tarquinius Sextus hatches a plan where virtue and violence collide, which will unfold to destroy Lucretia, bring about the end of Etruscan rule and the rise of the Roman Republic.

Written in 1946, Britten coined the term ‘chamber opera’ to describe this intimate and compelling masterpiece. Presented by Trinity Laban Opera, this work of psychological force and power promises to be an intense and rewarding experience, and an opportunity to hear young talent at the very start of their careers.

AYANNA WITTER-JOHNSONBMUS COMPOSITION 2008 SINGER, SONGWRITER AND CELLIST

JOSS ARNOTT BA (HONS) CONTEMPORARY DANCE 2009 MA DANCE PERFORMANCE 2010 CHOREOGRAPHER AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Learning to understand the fundamental building blocks of a wide variety of musical styles on the composition course opened a wealth of possibilities for me. My time at Trinity Laban gave birth to my dream of wanting to be a creative musician. The opportunity to put together and perform with my first ensemble in the Peacock Room is a moment I will never forget.

I was fortunate enough to work with some great and influential people at Trinity Laban who helped shape my career and the decisions I made after graduating. I felt that my technical and academic training enhanced my versatility as an artist, working with an inspiring faculty in world-class facilities.

Ayanna is performing as part of the Go Cello! Festival, at the Cutty Sark on 13 April (see page 4 for more details).

See a new work choreographed by Joss for BA3 Commissioned Works (part 2) at the Laban Theatre on 5 & 6 July (see page 15 for more details).

JOIN THE FAMILYTrinity Laban is one of the most innovative and forward focused of the UK conservatoires. We hold a diverse range of concerts and events within the very finest performance and rehearsal spaces, where we nurture the artists of tomorrow.

We thank our friends and supporters who contribute vital funds to make all this possible. If you would like to be one of those supporters, read on...

Maybe you want to help to fund the preservation and upgrading of King Charles Court in the Old Royal Naval College, the Laban Building or Blackheath Halls, to ensure that they are state of the art flagship venues for our performers?

Perhaps you will derive greater pleasure from supporting scholarships to encourage more talented students from the UK and abroad to take up their places? Living in London comes at a cost; students have to struggle and juggle to make ends meet, now more than ever.

As a Friend or Patron of Trinity Laban, you will be part of our family of supporters. You can see and do more – meet the scholars and artists, watch rehearsals, attend masterclasses and special events.

We are happy to recognise your gift in a way that is appropriate for you in appreciation of your generosity.
