1910: A YEAR IN MUSIC Sheafhayne Manor, Yarcombe, Honiton, East Devon Friday 11th – Sunday 13th June 2010
Our weekend will explore music that was either composed or premiered a hundred years ago in 1910. It is designed as an informal house party, and guests need only the ability to enjoy music. No technical knowledge is required, and music examples will be provided on excellent hi-fi equipment. Sheafhayne Manor is a Grade II listed Elizabethan manor house, commanding wonderful views across the East Devon countryside. Originally a medieval hall, it later became the hunting lodge of Sir Francis Drake. The house has recently been extensively and lovingly refurbished, so that modern facilities (including mostly en suite accommodation) have been combined with the original features. The Tudor panelling, flagstones, mullioned windows, old oak floorboards and doors remain in fine condition, and give the house a special atmosphere. We will meet on Friday at 5pm and depart on Sunday afternoon. Arts in Residence offers an excellent cuisine including a four course dinner with wine and a traditional Sunday lunch. Terry Barfoot writes widely on music for Britain’s leading journals, orchestras, festivals and record companies. A well-known figure in the musical life of southern England, he lectures at Oxford and other universities, and is Publications Consultant to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Ian Lowes studied at Durham University and at the Janacek Academy in the Czech Republic. For many years he was a professional horn player with the RLPO, WNO and the BSO before becoming Head of Composition and Academic Music at Bryanston School. He is still an active composer and conductor, examining for the Associated Board and teaching conducting for the RAF. Price: £270.00 per person (twin/double rooms), £295.00 (single rooms) to include all meals, wine, beverages, course fees and accommodation.
