From January to July, Purcell’s Composition Department will celebrate our 60th anniversary with the brilliant PurcellComposers@60 festival. Students, staff and alumni will come together on multiple groundbreaking projects and performances.
The festival kicks off with the first of the Purcell Parallels concerts, Chamber Expressions, on Thursday 19th January, which begins with a pre-concert talk at 7pm in the Recital Room followed by an evening of new music.
Purcell Parallels is a unique collaboration between The Purcell School’s composition teachers and first-study composition students. The staff-student pairs will work in parallel to write pieces for the same forces, exploring various connections. The final compositions will be programmed together in their pairs in a series of three concerts.
This is the first of the Purcell Parallels concerts, entitled ‘Chamber Expressions’, and will feature new works by Francesca (Year 13), Simon Speare, Edward (Year 12), Edward Longstaff, Joseph Howard and Oscar (Year 13), as well as preludes and encores by Ilya (Year 7) and Luca (Year 8).
All are welcome! Please do join us.
Free admission. No booking required.
