Event Details

Join us for the second in our series of intimate Listening Clubs, aimed at opening up a discussion about music and its place in our world today. This is a chance to meet the inspiring creative team behind JOY!, a major new piece for voices which we’ve commissioned for this year’s Summer School and Festival. Composer John Barber and writer Hazel Gould will be in conversation with our Artistic Director, Sara Mohr-Pietsch, to reveal the creative process behind their Beethoven-inspired piece, which features a text devised in collaboration with local refugees, children and climate activists. They’ll share some insights into the way they work with community groups, and offer you a chance to lend your ideas and voice to the final text of this piece, which asks the fundamental question: in times of crisis, what brings us joy?

John Barber is a composer from Bristol with a passion for voices, collaboration and storytelling. His versatile, rhythmic and intensely dramatic music has been performed by some of the country’s leading opera houses, theatres, ensembles and choirs including the Royal Opera House, Shakespeare’s Globe, BBC Symphony Orchestra and The Sixteen.

★★★★★ ‘we sat in the grip of delight…exceptional. Full marks to the conductor Natalie Murray, the instrumental ensemble and Barber’s delicately textured orchestrations, dancing between extremes of light and shade’
The Times on We Are Shadows

2020/21 will see new works premiered by Glyndebourne, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Dartington Music Summer School & Festival, Gothenburg Opera and The OAE.

Event Details

Directed by Sam Mendes and shot in one hallucinatory single take by masterful cinematographer Roger Deakins, 1917 feels like a major cinematic event; both a haunting, hard-hitting war drama and an audacious technical feat.

At the height of World War I, two young British soldiers, Schofield (George MacKay) and Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) are given a terrible, seemingly impossible mission: to warn a British battalion of 1,600 men – including Blake’s own brother – of an upcoming ambush. Racing against time across enemy territory, the pair must give their all to prevent their comrades from walking into a deadly trap.
With Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Andrew Scott and Richard Madden.

“Sam Mendes turns western front horror into a single-shot masterpiece” The Guardian
