4) Notices and Events ZIMBABWE ACADEMY OF MUSICTel: 2260684 / 2267195 E-mail: music@gatorzw.co.uk OCTOBER CLOSURE The ZANU PF conference takes place at the Trade Fair grounds from 22 to 27 October 2024. There will be several thousand delegates and the President will be in attendance so access to the Academy will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. It has therefore been decided that there will be no teaching, DVDs or other events during that week and that the Academy offices will be closed. Make-up lessons will be arranged so that the full quota will be taught before the end of the school term on 5 December. We regret any inconvenience but believe it is sensible to make these arrangements now. THURSDAYS 10 & 17 OCTOBER AT 6.30 P.M. THE TUNNEL Inside the Channel Tunnel, on the borderline between Britain and France, the body of a female French politician is discovered. As the corpse is removed it, becomes clear that this is no ordinary murder and detectives Karl Roebuck (Stephen Dillane) and Elise Wassermann (by Clemence Poesy) are forced into an uneasy partnership as they seek out a politically-motivated serial killer who draws them into his own personal agenda. - Terrific murder mystery. Great character development and acting. The story keeps you on edge. [Rotten Tomatoes] - The Tunnel was more than the sum of its parts; a show that could easily have gone badly wrong but ended up wonderfully right. It was TV gold. [The Guardian] - It is all very effectively done, creepily atmospheric and splendidly gruesome, but the best thing about the series is the interplay between Stephen Dillane's easy-going, laddish, rosbif detective inspector and his po-faced, glacial but - wouldn't you know it - extremely sexy Gallic counterpart. [The Stage] Admission: US$2.50 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 11 OCTOBER AT 6.30 P.M. A CELEBRATION OF CLASSIC MGM MUSICALS FROM THE PROMS MGM was founded on 17 April 1924 and the first of two hundred musicals, The Broadway Melody, followed five years later. Performing at the Proms in the Royal Albert Hall, John Wilson and his orchestra celebrate MGM film musicals, beginning with Johnny Green's MGM Jubilee Overture, written for MGM's thirtieth anniversary back in 1954. The concert was 'an amazing, wonderful, feelgood trip through the nostalgia of music of a quality that just isn't produced any more'. The singers were Kim Crisswell, Sarah Fox, Curtis Stigers, Seth Macfarlane and Sir Thomas Allen and the programme included songs from such great musical movies as Gigi, High Society, Meet Me in St Louis, Seven Brides for Seven Brother, Singin' in the Rain, The Wizard of Oz and more. - So 6 stars (if possible) for John Wilson (the Sir Simon Rattle of Popular and Light Music); 5 stars for the chorus and orchestra (that rather lovely fair-haired violinist on the second row who smiles a lot, as well she might, the harpist with the fabulous moustache, overall surely the greatest Big Band ever assembled); the songs themselves (mostly wonderful); the arrangements (fabulous). [Amazon] - At its best, the lushness of the sound from the John Wilson Orchestra, the two harps like angels' wings and the promenaders who opened their umbrellas for Singin' in the Rain made this the musical equivalent of having hot, melted butter poured all over you. It was impossible to feel anything but happiness. [The Guardian] - Though rain poured for the entire day, inside the Royal Albert Hall Californian sunshine, and that 'feel-good' factor, was omnipresent. The MGM Studio Orchestra that performed the original arrangements was superbly mimicked by John Wilson's hand-picked players; rhythms are tightly performed and the sound is a blend of Palm Court and Swing. [Classical Source] Admission: US$2.50 [free to Red Carpet Members] FRIDAY 18 OCTOBER AT 6.30 P.M. BERNSTEIN CONDUCTS: IVES AND GERSHWIN Charles Ives was born on 20 October 1874 and Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue was first performed on 12 February 1924. Leonard Bernstein conducts and plays Rhapsody in Blue as well as An American in Paris. The programme also includes Charles Ives' Second Symphony and The Unanswered Question. - It is a wonderfully compelling performance, one which will be loved immediately by those who like to hear performances of this piece 'over the top' in emotional warmth. [Gramophone] - THRILLING - BUY IT - IT'LL ROCK YOUR SOCKS OFF. Bernstein's love of the music pours out of his hands. [Amazon] - Bernstein blossoms, producing a thrilling and sturdy performance that makes a strong case for this rather strange symphonic montage (Ives' Second symphony). [BBC Music Magazine] Admission: US$2.50 [free to Red Carpet Members] THURSDAY 24/FRIDAY 25 OCTOBER Academy closed - see above. THURSDAY 31 OCTOBER AT 6.30 P.M. THE WALK As a boy, Philippe Petit dreams of performing daring feats for dazzled crowds. As an adult (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), his life's ambition comes true when he becomes a high-wire artist who stares death in the face with every step. Under the guidance of mentor Papa Rudy, the French daredevil devises a plan to walk on a tightrope attached to the north and south towers of the World Trade Center. With help from his team and against all odds, Petit attempts the seemingly impossible stunt on 7 August 1974. - A razzle-dazzle thriller with eye-popping visuals, white-knuckle tension and just the right note of melancholy. [Newsday] - Heartfelt and extremely entertaining. [The Guardian] - The end result is totally convincing and thrillingly real, with the walk itself providing the most exciting yet exhausting cinema experience you'll have all year. [The Mail on Sunday] Admission: US$2.50 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 1 NOVEMBER AT 6.30 P.M. THE PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER The Pharaoh's Daughter enjoys a special place in ballet history. Premiered in 1862, it was a grand spectacle featuring a cast of 400 and was Petipa's first truly successful ballet, securing his future in St Petersburg, where he went on to become the most influential choreographer of the 19th century. Ballet scenarios don't come much sillier than this: it turns on the story of British Egyptologist Lord Wilson who, after a reckless hit of opium, dreams himself back to the time of the pharaohs. Wilson falls in love with Aspicia, the ballet's titular heroine, and when she throws herself into the Nile to avoid being married off to the King of Nubia, Wilson is left to face death by snakebite. Tragedy is averted by the Nile's underwater king who restores Aspicia to Wilson's arms. - With its exotic setting, spectacular dancing and scenes choreographed for nearly the entire Bolshoi troupe, this stunning Egyptian fresco is one of the most remarkable productions in the company's repertoire. [Picture House] - The corps de ballet is exceptional, the great dance steps simultaneously tuned to near perfection. Standard Bolshoi quality. [Amazon] - Lacotte has created a glittering bauble of a ballet.. Partnered by Sergei Filin, Svetlana Zakharova has rarely looked more assured, disciplining her long limbs into sharp etched rhythms and mellifluous phrases, and delivering them all to her audience with the creamiest of smiles. [The Guardian] Admission: US$2.50 [free to Red Carpet Members] SATURDAY 2 NOVEMBER AT N.B. 3.00 P.M. MILITARY WIVES With their partners away serving in Afghanistan, a group of women on the home front form a choir and quickly find themselves at the centre of a media sensation and global movement. Whilst celebrating the film's inspirational story of friendship, love, and support the film's director Peter Cattaneo says 'I first got involved with the Military Wives choir film three years ago and was immediately excited by a concept that would allow me to explore a way of life that has rarely been seen on the big screen, as well as make a film with music and singing at its core'. He goes onto say, 'I hope audiences will come away from watching Military Wives having laughed and cried with the characters, feeling inspired by the courage of the women and uplifted by hearing them belt out some classic songs'. - A crowd-pleasing comedy-drama that hits all the right notes. [The Guardian] - At a time when our world is drowning in uncertainty, Military Wives offers hope. It's the very definition of a feel-good movie. [Matin's Movies] - The smiles, tears and toe-tapping are all conducted with military precision, but they do all hit the right note. A classic crowd-pleaser. [Metro] Admission: US$2.50 [free to Film Members] THEREAFTER Thursday 7 November at 6.30 p.m. Gran Torino Friday 8 November at 6.30 p.m. Faure: Requiem etc. [Gabriel Faure died 4 November 1924] Thursday 14 November at 6.30 p.m.Foxcatcher [released on 14 November 2014] Friday 15 November at 6.30 p.m. Schoenberg: Gurrelieder [Arnold Schoenberg was born in 1874] Thursday 21 November at 6.30 p.m.Mansfield Park [released on 19 November 1999] Friday 22 November at 5.00 p.m. Student Concert Friday 22 November at 7.00 p.m. Anton Bruckner: The Making of a Giant [Bruckner was born in 1824]
