FORTHCOMING 2011
CELEBRATING GRAINGER 2011
17-20 FEBRUARY 2011
This three-day event at Kings Place will showcase some of his most vivid repertoire and invites you to take part. Whether thrilling to the richness of the Royal Artillery Band and specially chosen instrumental ensembles from the London Music Colleges, or enjoying Grainger’s terrific choral works, exotic world music percussion settings and multi-pianos, this event will take you on a voyage of discovery you will not forget.
A Seminar at the British Library on Sunday 20 February will mark the exact 50th anniversary of Grainger’s death. Leading scholars will explore some of the unknown aspects of his adventurous life and work, complementing the launch of The New Percy Grainger Companion (edited by Penelope Thwaites) - Boydell and Brewer.
