Audiences and artists have been coming together at Wigmore Hall for

nearly 115 years. In its intimate and welcoming environment, enthralling

performances of supreme musical works are experienced with a unique

immediacy. As we look forward to the 2015/16 Season, the Hall is

delighted to present some of the greatest artists in the world today, as well

as talented emerging artists who explore repertoire with skill, curiosity and

deeply personal interpretations – and we have you to thank for this.

All of us – the Hall’s audiences and supporters as much as its staff –

are guardians of a long and illustrious tradition; but we must ensure the

continued vitality of the Hall by exploring new vistas and possibilities, and

by never ceasing to learn, whether through listening, participating or

creating. Our starting point always remains the same: an uncompromising

belief in quality. Informing everything we do, it is embodied in the artists

who perform here and shared by all the people who contribute so much

to each Wigmore Hall event.

That belief in quality and the preservation of intimate music-making is also

the starting point for Wigmore Hall’s 2015/16 Season Appeal. Through

your generous support of the Hall, you have already played a crucial role

in creating experiences that are both exhilarating and uplifting. Your

annual gifts make all the difference and I hope that you will once again

join us and support the 2015/16 Season.

THANK YOUTHE WIGMORE HALL TRUST WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE

AND THANK THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANISATIONS FOR THEIR GENEROUS SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE 2014/15 SEASON:

WELCOME

2 SEASON PREVIEW 2015/16

THE 2014/15 SEASON The number of concerts presented by Wigmore Hall has grown by 12% over the past 2 years, delivering a better quality and breadth of programme to our audiences than ever before.

The energy, imagination and impact of the 2014/15 Season is exemplified by two landmark projects that will extend into 2015/16 – The Mozart Odyssey and Henry Purcell: A Retrospective. Superb performances have captivated listeners in the Hall itself, and are inspiring a myriad of learning projects, engaging people of all ages. Neither of these ambitious enterprises would have been possible without the investment made by you, the Hall’s supporters, notably in the form of the Endowment Fund and sponsored concerts, and also with the gifts which support the season as a whole.

Perhaps one of the things we value most when we see a performance on the Wigmore Hall stage is the sense of connection and immediacy of communication. These values also lie at the heart of our Learning programme and can be seen reflected throughout our work, from the non-verbal link between parents and their new babies at our For Crying Out Loud! concerts, to baritone Marcus Farnsworth singing alongside primary school pupils on the Wigmore Hall stage, or the bond and empathy experienced by musicians, residents and care staff taking part in a Music for Life session in a care home.

In these difficult times for music education and the arts in general, the breadth and scale of Wigmore Hall Learning’s programme is striking, with 460 events and over 20,000 visits to our projects and events each season. Partnerships are key to sustaining our Learning activities – working with organisations including schools, colleges and conservatoires, funders and other arts organisations, and the community and health sectors, and building strong connections with artists, young people, music leaders, teachers, care staff, community leaders, audience members and indeed any other individual who believes in the power of music to change and enrich our lives.

SCHUBERT PROJECT: OPENING THE WORLD OF SONG TO NEW AUDIENCES

Over the next two years we present each of Schubert’s 600-plus Lieder performed by truly outstanding artists, exploring an infinite universe of musical and poetic expression. This series has been three years in the making and we are delighted to collaborate on this major project with the Schubertiade festival in Austria, a new international partner for us, which is committed to preserving the song recital as a concert-going experience.

Alongside performances of the highest quality, this series also features a diverse programme of Learning events, delivered to the same exceptional standards, providing new insights for existing audiences and inspiring people who are new to the wonderful world of song.

We present pre-concert talks and artist interviews with some of the world’s leading

THE 2015/16 SEASON Balancing tradition and innovation, the 2015/16 Season will set the pace for the next five years, building on the last decade of progress and achievement.

Among the programming highlights are multi-dimensional journeys through the entire song output of Schubert over two seasons, and the chamber music of Bartók (two composers closely identified with Wigmore Hall), and a still broader array of early and contemporary music. 500 years of repertoire will be represented in the three anniversary galas planned for May and June 2016, devoted to Schubert, Early and Baroque music and Contemporary works for string quartet. Please turn to page 8 for the Season Highlights and all the listings for 2015/16.

authorities on Schubert, and a Wigmore Study Group will focus on this rich topic in autumn 2015. We also have the inspirational Dominic Harlan presenting Schubert Lieder to people of all ages who are new to this musical world, including an event entitled Lieder for the Terrified at the very start of the 2015/16 Season, and a project for schools designed to inspire creative activity around song and storytelling. All of this work is fully integrated with our website, and talks and

podcasts, digital streaming and resources are available to support the programme. The schools project will also feature online films telling the stories behind the songs and with performances by leading artists. Inspired by these films, pupils will take part in specially designed activities to create their own responses to Schubert’s work, writing their own ‘Story Songs’ which will be shared through live performances and also online via the website.

A REVIEWWIGMORE HALL IS FAMED FOR ITS INTIMACY, BUT ITS AUDIENCES AND THE SCOPE OF THE ARTISTIC PROGRAMME JUST KEEP GROWING.

OVER THE COURSE OF THE 2014/15 SEASON, THE HALL PRESENTS SOME 920 EVENTS – 460 CONCERTS AND 460 LEARNING EVENTS.

CONNECTING PEOPLEWITH MUSIC

OVER THE LAST TWO DECADES, THE WIGMORE HALL LEARNING PROGRAMME HAS EVOLVED AND EXPANDED TO REACH A BROAD AND DIVERSE AUDIENCE

THROUGH CREATIVE PROJECTS, CONCERTS AND EVENTS.

THE 2014/15 SEASON IN NUMBERS

200,000 attendances

2,000+ artists performing

199 chamber music recitals

92 vocal recitals

69 piano recitals

45 early music and baroque recitals

50 concerts presented in our contemporary music series

30 new commissions, in partnership with venues around the world

10,000 young people will take part in Wigmore Hall activities

22 pre-concert talks

7 masterclasses

8 schools concerts

46 events for 0–5 year olds

The season also sees Wigmore Hall make the first moves to becoming a digital broadcaster in its own right. Increasingly, audiences will be in a position to sample a wealth of activity through digital media, even if they cannot visit the Hall itself. They will share in vivid performances, discover repertoire – including newly-commissioned scores – and deepen their intellectual and emotional engagement with both music and artists.

Internet streaming is planned for four concerts, and we will also make video recordings of the Final of our Wigmore Hall/Kohn Foundation International Song Competition, as well as a number of concerts and learning events, which audiences will be able to view on our new, content-rich website. Launched in early 2015, it is at the heart of our digital media strategy and supported by the new technical facilities that will be installed at the Hall in summer 2015.

While never compromising the Hall’s reputation for quality, we will continue to take an enterprising and creative approach as we seek both to satisfy long-standing devotees and to draw in new audiences.

As the past ten years have shown, this approach seems to be working, and we are determined to maintain our momentum in the years to 2020.

While ticket sales are strong, they only cover 60% of the overall cost of our operations. Running the Hall, with escalating operational costs and increased usage of our facilities, is becoming more and more difficult.

Public funding from Arts Council England is now just 7% of our income. Other sources such as catering and merchandising bring in just 2%. That leaves 31% of our income that must be raised from private donations.

Next season we need to raise £1,600,000 in private donations. We depend on your annual gifts to keep this much-loved hall in good working condition, and to ensure the breadth and quality of our programme.

Please support our annual appeal.

Wigmore Hall Learning Ambassadors directly support people who would not otherwise have the chance to be a part of our musical community.

With your generous donation you can help ensure our musical community is an inclusive one, supporting our work with vulnerable and hard-to-reach people.

£250 would heat, light and clean the Hall for a day

£500 helps us subsidise 25 tickets for young people under the age of 35

£1,000 in our Piano Fund would help us tune and maintain both our Steinway Grands all year round

£3,500 would sponsor a late night concert, attracting new audiences to the Hall

A contribution of any size to the annual fund is enormously appreciated.

SEASON OPENING RECITALRecipient of a Gramophone Award for his latest album on the Wigmore Hall Live label, countertenor Iestyn Davies is bound to set creative sparks flying when he joins The English Concert for the opening recital of the Season.

BARTÓK SERIESBéla Bartók’s creative mind was open to an extraordinary range of cultural influences and generated a torrent of fresh and lasting ideas. The Hungarian composer’s chamber music, which was championed at Wigmore Hall during his lifetime, is the focus for a major artistic series this Season.

JEAN-GUIHEN QUEYRAS ARTIST IN RESIDENCELook forward to experiencing the French cellist’s captivating musicianship and compelling expressive integrity through his broad repertoire during his season as Wigmore Hall’s Artist in Residence.

SCHUBERT: THE COMPLETE SONGSSchubert’s songs belong to the stock of mankind’s highest achievements, potent examples of the best in human creation. Do not miss the chance to hear the complete songs of Schubert performed by truly outstanding artists over the next two seasons.

CHRISTIAN GERHAHER SERIESInsatiable Box Office demand for Christian Gerhaher’s Wigmore Hall concerts reflects his status among the great song recitalists of our time, always ready to pursue expressive and vocal risks in the search for deeper artistic truths. We are delighted to welcome him back for four concerts this Season.

IGOR LEVIT SERIESAdmired by fellow pianists and hailed by critics as one of the most talented musicians of his generation, Igor Levit has rapidly secured a loyal following at Wigmore Hall. Join him as he makes five much-anticipated return visits throughout the Season.

INTRODUCING JAMES BAILLIEUJames Baillieu, winner of the Pianist’s Prize of our 2009 International Song Competition, has been described by the Daily Telegraph as being ‘in a class of his own’. His series this Season, when he is joined by a host of leading singers, is not to be missed.

2015 INTERNATIONAL SONG COMPETITIONThe Wigmore Hall/Kohn Foundation International Song Competition celebrates the art of the song recital and honours the Lied’s place at the heart of the genre. This biennial Competition takes place in September 2015.

CELEBRATING MAGDALENA KOŽENÁWith a glittering international career, Magdalena Kožená has won critical plaudits for her profound musicianship and beguiling artistry. Tickets for her series this Season, with Sir Simon Rattle and Mitsuko Uchida among the singer’s musical partners, are guaranteed to be some of the year’s hottest properties.

HENRY PURCELL: A RETROSPECTIVE CONTINUESFollowing the success of its first season, Henry Purcell: A Retrospective continues with a stellar list of artists, comprising everyone from Trevor Pinnock, Andreas Scholl and Iestyn Davies to Vox Luminis, The Sixteen and Harry Christophers.

THE MOZART ODYSSEY CONTINUESAlina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien conclude their survey of Mozart’s works for violin and piano, while Francesco Piemontesi begins his complete cycle of the piano sonatas, and Michael Collins and the City of London Sinfonia celebrate Mozart’s birthday.

Director: John Gilhooly OBE, Hon FRAM, HonRCM The Wigmore Hall TrustRegistered Charity No. 1024838

‘We love it here. We’ve been coming here for years now, and it’s always a special thing to do.’

Alina Ibragimova and Cédric Tiberghien

‘The platform, the canvas upon which you can paint, is so hugely important – and Wigmore Hall just happens to be the most beautiful size

and the most beautiful acoustic… The people that come are people like me – they love it, they love music.’

Simon Keenlyside

‘What I think is incredible about Wigmore is that there is no compromise on the highest quality on the one hand,

and on the other hand it is extremely accessible – it doesn’t have to cost you very much at the Wigmore and you can hear great performances

and share the greatest music.’Anthony Marwood

‘For me it’s the most wonderful concert hall in the world, the best acoustic ever, and I feel at home here.’

Brigitte Fassbaender, mezzo-soprano
