Departure
For those wishing to depart on Monday, it will be possible to stay at
The Angel Hotel for
an extra night at a special
rate.
The
Angel Hotel, Midhurst, West Sussex
Friday 20th– Sunday 22nd October 2006
The
Angel Hotel is located in the centre of the characterful Sussex market town of
Midhurst, situated in the beautiful South Downs countryside. The building has an
elegant Georgian façade, which hides a much older building, a former 16th
century coaching inn full of real warmth and character.
Strauss
enjoyed a remarkably long creative
life of more than sixty years, from the early 1880s to the late 1940s. He was a
prolific composer who worked in all the established forms; beyond the opera
house his work has been most valued in the fields of the orchestral tone poem and the solo song with orchestra or
piano. Our weekend will take account of all these aspects of the man and his
music, and will include a song recital.
It is designed as an informal ‘house party’, so
guests need only the ability to enjoy music; no technical knowledge will
be required.
Terry Barfoot
writes widely on music for Britain’s leading journals, orchestras, festivals
and record companies. He lectures at venues throughout the country and is
Publications Consultant to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
Joanna Bleach studied
at the Welsh College of Music and Drama. She presently sings professionally with
the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.
Peter Rhodes
has worked variously as a solo recitalist, harpsichord continuo player and in
opera. He has performed with many eminent artists, including Kiri te Kanawa and
Benjamin Luxon. He has taken part in several Arts in Residence events.
