In the first of a pair of concerts conducted by Ryan Wigglesworth, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra brought Tippett’s Ritual Dances from The Midsummer Marriage to vigorous life, displaying both the brassy, monumental ambition and the diaphanous woodwind and string detail of this magical score. MISS DIANA MARILYN QUICK is a Actress And Festival Director from Aldeburgh Suffolk. Edmond has just retired as Director of Music of Aldeburgh Music Club at the conclusion of the the 2019-20 season after 13 highly successful years with the choir. Aside from purely musical inventions, they have always made things happen. Having completed his studies, Tom gained a place in the Monteverdi Choir under Sir John Eliot Gardiner. Aldeburgh Voices sang works of both, and of Imogen Holst, in Blythburgh church. Rather than remain apologetically on the sidelines and assume the worst – a lost cause, bad box office – he urged them to throw themselves into the centre of the action. Audiences, many in their eighth, ninth and 10th decades, some of whom remember Britten and Pears, remain loyal, open-eared supporters. Of course there are exceptions, such as the person I overheard announcing loudly that the next item, a new piece, couldn’t possibly be anything but dreadful, so she would sit it out. Pierre-Laurent Aimard ends his term as artistic director this year. In Aldeburgh, the limelight fell on Michael Tippett (1905-1998), long overshadowed by Britten, his near contemporary. There will be squeals. The BBCSSO showed their skills, too, with Berlioz, Elgar, Debussy and recent work by Rebecca Saunders (b1967) – her Beckett-inspired Still, full of caustic beauty and written for the virtuosic soloist Carolin Widmann – as well as Colin Matthews’s Reflected Images (2003), moody, mysterious and poignant. Yet Britten remains the still point around which the two-week festival revolves. Snape Maltings has announced that British choral conductor Dominic Ellis-Peckham has been appointed as music director of its in-house choir, Aldeburgh Voices. Michael Tippett, long overshadowed by Aldeburgh’s founder, finally got his place in the Suffolk sun, Sun 26 Jun 2016 03.00 EDT All music was new once. So Aldeburgh is looking to the future. The role in future will be shared between a number of artist-programmers. Tom is currently the Music Director of the King's Lynn Festival Chorus, a Friday Afternoons Ambassador at Snape Maltings, and the Co-Founder and Artistic Director of the Come and Sing Company (www.comeandsingcompany.co.uk). Instead of inventing some enterprise to promote himself, Tippett foolishly – in terms of his posterity anyway – set up a foundation specifically to help young musicians. Some third of all festival events are “home grown”, often devised as part of unseen, year-round residencies. What an irony that it might happen, first, at Aldeburgh. Of the two, Aldeburgh is decidedly the more creative, inventive, thriving and varied. Find out more about the cast and crew that have worked with Aldeburgh Festival.
