The Goods Shed Arts Centre GL8 8EY, 3.00pm SIR NICHOLAS KENYON LECTURE Henry Purcell: England’s Greatest Composer From ‘Music for a while’ to ‘Nymphs and shepherds’, Purcell’s music has always been thought of as quintessentially English. Yet his idiom was thoroughly international, bringing together influences from around Europe. In advance of the evening's performance of Dido and Aeneas, our guest lecturer, the distinguished arts administrator and writer on music Sir Nicholas Kenyon reflects on Purcell’s changing reputation over the years and the nature of Englishness in music from Tye and Tavener to Vaughan Williams and Britten, and considers what lessons Purcell holds for our music-making today. Tetbury Music Festival www.tetburymusicfestival.org £12 Saturday 4 October TETBURY
The Goods Shed Arts Centre GL8 8EY, 3.00pm SIR NICHOLAS KENYON LECTURE J.S. Bach: Music for All Ages From the Swingle Singers to the Moog synthesiser, from massive symphonic orchestrations to purist one-to-a-part performances, Bach’s music has been continually transformed over the time since his death. But his idiom seems continually resilient. Our guest lecturer Sir Nicholas Kenyon explores some of the ways Bach’s music has been interpreted and adapted to reflect the taste of the times, and what historically informed performances have revealed. Our Sunday concert ‘BaroqueBusters’ will provide a further reminder of Bach’s staying power across the centuries. Tetbury Music Festival www.tetburymusicfestival.org £12 Sunday 5 October TETBURY
