BRITISH MUSIC SOCIETY OF YORK 1986/87 Season Bootham School Hall, York HUNGARIAN SEASON To mark the double anniversary of LISZT (1811-1886), the Society offers a programme with a Hungarian theme: Thursday 9th October 1986 at 7.30 pm. ANTHONY GOLDSTONE (piano) Hungarian Rhapsody No. 9"Carnival at Pest", S.244 LISZT SCHUBERT Fantasie-Sonata in G, D.894 Fantasy on "The Last Rose of Summer", Op. 15 MENDELSSOHN DOHNÁNYI Four Rhapsodies, Op. 11 ANTHONY GOLDSTONE studied with Derrick Wyndham at the then Royal Manchester College of Music, and later in London with Maria Curcio who instilled in him the traditions of her own teacher Artur Schnabel, for whom Anthony Goldstone has particular admiration. He first came to prominence as a result of winning international prizes in Munich and Vienna, and a Gulbenkian Fellowship; he first played for this Society in 1973. Since then he has developed his career, unusually, on two fronts: as a solo pianist and in chamber music, in particular with his own Musicians of the Royal Exchange who gave us such a memorable concert last season. Thursday 6th November 1986 at 7.30 pm. JANE SALMON (cello) Suite No. 3 in C, BWV 1009 Suite No. 1, Op. 72 Sonata, Op. 8 BACH BRITTEN KODÁLY JANE SALMON studied with Amaryllis Fleming and played in the National Youth Orchestra before she went to Cambridge to read music at Clare College. After graduating she spent a further year with Amaryllis Fleming at the Royal College of Music. She has taken part Thursday 22nd January 1987 at 7.30 pm. HENRY HERFORD (baritone) with ROGER VIGNOLES (piano) Songs Trois Ballades de François Villon Six Songs from "A Shropshire Lad" Histoires Naturelles Four Greek Folk Songs LISZT DEBUSSY BUTTERWORTH RAVEL SEIBER At King's College Cambridge HENRY HERFORD read English, not Music, played the 'cello and didn't sing. Singing began during work for a graduate diploma in York, as a Minster songman and in the University Chamber Choir. Then to the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and on to win the Benson and Hedges Gold Award in 1980 and the International American Music Competition in New York in 1982. ROGER VIGNOLES also studied at Cambridge, since when he has very rapidly become one of our internationally best known piano accompanists. Thursday 19th February 1987 at 7.30 pm. Patrons' Concert ALLEGRI STRING QUARTET PETER CARTER and DAVID ROTH (violins) KEITH LOVELL (viola) BRUNO SCHRECKER (cello) Quartet in D minor, Op. 76 No. 2 Quartet No. 5 Quartet in A minor, Op. 29 No. 1 Through the generosity of the Radcliffe and Edward HAYDN BARTÓK SCHUBERT ANTHONY GOLDSTONE HENRY HERFORD

Cambridge to read music at Clare College. After graduating she spent a further year with Amaryllis Fleming at the Royal College of Music. She has taken part in master classes with Pierre Fournier in Switzerland and, supported by the Countess of Munster Musical Trust, studied with Johannes Goritzki in Germany. In 1983 she was one of the prizewinners in the Tunbridge Wells International Young Concert Artists Competition, and in 1984 one of the first young musicians to be selected for the Young Concert Artists Trust management scheme; both these charitable organisations are supporting her appearance in York. Thursday 4th December 1986 at 7.30 pm. NEW BUDAPEST STRING QUARTET ANDRAS KISS and FERENCE BALOGH (violins) LÁSZLÓ BÁRSONY (viola) KÁROLY BOTVAY (cello) Quartet No. 1 in G, K.387 Quartet No. 2 in D, Op. 10 Quartet in A minor, Op. 51 No. 2 MOZART KODÁLY BRAHMS Until a few years ago a foreign string quartet was a regular feature of the Society's programme, none more regular than the NEW BUDAPEST who played for us in 1974, 1975 and 1977. All the more welcome they are then in our Hungarian year, even though only Andras Kiss remains from the original line-up. The Quartet was formed in 1970; in 1972 they were able to study in the United States with the legendary Hungarian Quartet at the last of its summer master classes. Andras Kiss and László Bársony are both professors at the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest. NEW BUDAPEST STRING QUARTET Quartet in A minor, Op. 29 No. 1 SCHUBERT Through the generosity of the Radcliffe and Edward Boyle Memorial trusts we are once again able to borrow the ALLEGRI from a period of residency at Leeds University. After nearly a third of a century they have built up a vast repertoire stretching from Haydn to contemporary works. On record their Schubert playing has been particularly admired. Thursday 26th March 1987 at 7.30 pm. LAN BROWN (piano) Sonata in C, Op. 2 No. 3 Pieces from the "Mikrokosmos" BEETHOVEN BARTÓK BARTÓK DEBUSSY nata Images, Book II Isolde's Liebestod, S.447 WAGNER transcribed LISZT IAN BROWN studied the piano at the Royal College of Music with Lamar Crowson and Eric Harrison, winning the Tagore Gold Medal given to the most distinguished student of the year; a further year of study was spent in Israel with Enrique Barenboim. That we know him best as an accompanist and chamber music player probably reflects his very wide experience of music -as a choirboy in Salisbury Cathedral, as a bassoonist in the National Youth Orchestra, even occasionally as a conductor. Recently he has been developing his work as a soloist, including broadcast recitals; we look forward to welcoming him back to York in this, for us, new rôle.

DORTHWICK INSTITUTE BMS 3/1/44 HISTORICAL OF * RESEARCH BS YORK A Letter From The Chairman This is the sixty-sixth consecutive year in which the British Music Society of York has offered a season of PROFESSIONAL CHAMBER MUSIC RECITALS. The word "recital" was first used, it seems, to describe a concert given in London in 1840 by FERENC LISZT (1811-1886), and the HUNGARIAN THEME that runs through our programmes this season has been chosen to mark the double anniversary of the composer- pianist often described as "the father of modern music". Fellow Hungarians represented, in between the more familiar BACH, BEETHOVEN and BRAHMS are Dohnányi, Bartók, Kodály and Seiber. Our artists, as usual, include old friends - our two pianists and our two string quartets-and new-the young 'cellist Jane Salmon giving an unaccompanied recital, and the outstanding duo of Henry Herford and Roger Vignoles. I do hope you will not be satisfied by coming to the occasional concert, but will want to SUBSCRIBE, that is to become a member of the Society. The BMS is one of many similar voluntary organisations throughout the country-sixteen in Yorkshire alone-whose prime purpose is to promote PROFESSIONAL CHAMBER MUSIC RECITALS. By subscribing you begin to play a part in the running of the Society; and you SAVE ABOUT A THIRD OF THE COST OF YOUR TICKETS! Betty Ainsworth. Hon. Treasurer: Mr. J. Briggs Hon. Asst.
