CURSO SOBRE WAGNER EN ESCOCIA
'The Young Wagner: his first three operas' - Residential Course 14-17 September 2015
Following his excellent study course on Wagner’s last opera, Parsifal, in September 2014, Derek Watson B.Mus. LRAM will return to the beginning of Wagner’s operatic career in a residential course on The Young Wagner in the pleasant and comfortable surroundings of Gartmore House.
This course will consider the early life and music of Richard Wagner, taking his story to 1842 when the 29-year-old had his first success with Rienzi, the Last of the Tribunes [after Bulwer-Lytton]. Along the way we'll look at highlights of Die Feen [The Fairies, after Gozzi] and Das Liebesverbot [The Ban on Love, after Shakespeare]. The influences of German Romantic, Italian, and French grand opera, together with literature, history and fairy tales, all combine in the melting pot from which the composer continued to draw in all his later dramas. For this reason each of the first three operas is of fascination in itself, and all contain much enjoyable and beautiful music. Sessions will be illustrated with visual material, musical examples and recorded extracts.
Course description
The course will start at 4pm on Monday 14th September 2015 with the first teaching session, followed by dinner and a second teaching session, and finish on Thursday 17th September 2015 after lunch at 13.00 (with two teaching sessions that morning). This is a new pattern for the course to maximise our time at Gartmore and minimise your costs.
The detailed programme and information about reading material, etc. will be sent out nearer the time but please book now to ensure your place.

FESTIVAL DE BAYREUTH 2015

Richard Wagner: Rheingold
Nach drei Jahren hat er auf dem Grünen Hügel genug von der Tetralogie um einen verfluchten Nibelungenring: Der Generalmusikdirektor der Bayerischen Staatsoper, Kirill Petrenko, ist an seinem Stammhaus in München derart ausgelastet, dass er Wagners vierteiliges Monumentalwerk in Bayreuth ab 2016 dem erfahrenen Kollegen Marek Janowski überlässt - wodurch es ein weiteres interessantes Hügeldebüt geben wird. Petrenko steht dieses Jahr also zum vorerst letzten Mal im mystischen Abgrund, dessen akustische Tücken er auf Anhieb so souverän in den Griff bekam wie wenige vor ihm. Die heiß umstrittene Inszenierung von Frank Castorf gibt sich mit den vielsagenden Bühnenbildern von Aleksandar Denic sicher auch im dritten Jahr teils nostalgisch, teils trashig: als Machtkampf um Erdöl statt um märchenhaftes Gold.

| Leiths School of Food and Wine celebrates 40 years in style! |
By way of celebration Leiths are hosting a series of conversations with key players in the food industry; chefs, food writers, stylists and pioneers to reminisce about the last 40 years, discuss and even predict the next phase of the nation’s fascinating food journey.
Having designed a logo for the 40th birthday celebrations, they asked us to design and build a website to both promote the events and sell tickets. The solution was an elegant and simple one-page site (technically speaking it is a Craft CMS and Shopify integration). From conception to first ticket sale we had 48 hours but delivered with no problems!
If you are interested in food take a look at the first event, legends Pru Leith, Rick Stein and Yotam Ottolenghi are all speaking!
