SUMMARY:The Cox Cryptogram - Celebrating AliSon Cox (A\, Eb\, C) on her Retirement
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the extraordinary contribution of Alison Cox\, who retires this year as Head of Composition after nearly 40 years at The Purcell School\, this special concert brings together a unique collection of new miniatures by both staff and student composers. Each work takes as its starting point a musical cryptogram derived from Alison’s name\, with composers invited to respond in their own individual way to the pitches A\, E-flat\, and C (AliSon Cox). In German music notation\, S refers to the note E-flat. \nThe result is a vibrant and imaginative sequence of pieces\, ranging from solo works to quartets\, each revealing a distinct creative voice while reflecting the remarkable diversity\, invention and vitality of the School’s Composition Department. Performed by a combination of Purcell staff and students\, this concert is both a tribute to Alison’s exceptional legacy and a celebration of the collaborative musical community she has helped to inspire over so many years. \nDevised by Robert Saxton\, The Purcell School’s Composer-in-Association\, the project offers a fitting and affectionate farewell\, marking the close of a longstanding and valued creative partnership. \nThe concert is free to attend but donations are kindly received. No booking required.
