EventNicholas Daniel & Catherine MilledgeSome musicians really get inside the soul of their instrument, and for five decades, Nicholas Daniel has been one of the UK’s most inspiring – and best-loved – oboists. We’re delighted to welcome him back to the RWCMD for a concert filled with wonder. From the magic and mystery of Britten’s Greek myths, to the brilliance of turn-of-the-century Paris, it’s enchantment all the way.
EventThe Lonesome WestAfter the accidental death of their father, two grown up brothers Valene and Coleman, live out their days in his house in the hills of Connemara. Locked in a battle of sibling rivalry and childish bickering over the most mundane of things, the only person who might save them is their alcoholic parish priest. Martin McDonaghs award-winning bleak, dark comedy is a hilarious and riotous examination of what happens when the modern world leaves you behind.
EventRWCMD Chamber WindsStravinsky’s transformation from the leader of the avant-garde to the pioneer of neo-classicism in his piece Octet took the musical establishment by surprise.

In between, two clarinets explore Poulenc’s take on ‘retro’, heavily laden with bitonal spice.
