Wigmore Hall Learning gives people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities opportunities to take part in creative music making. We lead a wide range of innovative projects and events, both in the community and at Wigmore Hall, for children, families, schools, young people and adults.

We are passionate about the impact music can have on our lives and on our society, and three core values lie at the heart of our programme: creativity, collaboration and equality. These are values which reflect the spirit of chamber music, and this inspires all that we do: making music together as an ensemble, with every voice heard and equally valued.

WIGMORE STUDY GROUP: BRITTEN

Explore the song cycles of Benjamin Britten with composer Julian Philips, pianist Laura Roberts, guest speakers and student performers from Guildhall School of Music & Drama. ‘One of my chief aims,’ Britten wrote, ‘is to try to restore to the musical setting of the English Language a brilliance, freedom and vitality that have been curiously rare since the death of Purcell.’ He was courageous in expressing homosexual love through works such as the Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo. Later cycles show a preoccupation with sin and death (The Holy Sonnets of John Donne), the fragility of innocence in a corrupt world (Winter Words) and the disillusionment of middle age (Songs from the Chinese).

INTRODUCTION TO… BEETHOVEN’S PIANO SONATAS

Beethoven’s 32 Piano Sonatas have been referred to as ‘The New Testament’ of music; Bach’s 48 Preludes and Fugues occupy the other space. A chronological exposure to these pieces takes the listener from the almost outrageously assertive and experimental early works (including the well-known ‘Pathétique’) through the expansive middle period (‘Waldstein’ and ‘Appassionata’) to the transcendental explorations of the ‘Hammerklavier’ and the last three sonatas. In his final sonata Op. 111, and especially in its second movement, Beethoven takes music to a place unvisited by any other musician. In this series, Roy Stratford gives an overview of the whole of this extraordinarily diverse series of works, perhaps the most significant body of music written for a single instrument.

He will follow the lecture with a performance of the three sonatas at 7.30pm on Sunday 21 June.
