has been tested this year as never
before, for it is required of me as
musical director that I maintain the
quality of the service we offer while
of adventurous repertoire have
produced in the Guildford
Philharmonic forces a team eager to
take on unfamiliar and new works,
and to pass on to the audience the
stimulating experience of growing
up in music. Concertgoers with
open minds often write to me to say
how much a new work has meant to
them, helped their understanding of
pieces they have known for years, or
even, by an indefinable process,
helped their understanding of
subjects and ideas quite apart from
music, in other words, of life.
Whether you look upon music as
entertainment, escapism,
intellectual stimulation, or therapy,
it is from the rich variety of the art
that you will get the greatest profit.
The Guildford Borough Council's
symphony concerts provide a
service in which that variety is
offered in a way that has drawn
admiration from all in the musical
world, performers, critics,
managements, but most important
of all it has attracted a loyal
audience. I wonder if the
enlightened men and women of the’
Council after the second world war,
who established the Municipal
music scheme, envisaged what it
would become: a fully professional
orchestra, which, with its choir,
would make commercial
gramophone records, give world
premieres of works which it would
commission, and eventually become
the orchestra of the region in which
it started life. All this has happened
in a climate, both social and
economic that could only be
described as unfavourable, proof of
the worth of the service, and of the
astonishing enthusiasm and
industry of its supporters, both paid
and voluntary.
These things convince me that the
present financial stringencies can
have only a short term effect on
masterpieces, as well as eighteenth
and nineteenth century ones,
internationally famous soloists, as
well as young aspiring ones, a
commissioned work, a large
proportion of British music, and
enterprise not only in the
enterprising series. I mean the
inclusion of such works as
Smetana’s Richard III,
Mendelssohn's Calm Sea and a
Prosperous Voyage, Sibelius’ Night
Ride and Sunrise, rarely heard
works yet by established popular
composers. The Philharmonic Choir
will contribute to more concerts than
ever before. Its progress over the
past few seasons has been
recognised by those critics from
national newspapers who attend our
“enterprising series’. They rarely
come to the choir when it performs
the great classical works and, of
course, they do not know about the
teamwork behind the performances
it gives. In recent years, my own
commitments in different parts of
the world have thrown even more of
the preparation of the choir on to the
shoulders of Kenneth Lank, and I
am proud that this season I shall
share a concert with him in the main
series. I am proud, too, to welcome
Norman Del Mar as our
distinguished guest conductor, to
open the season. His work is known
to everyone of course, but this is the
first time he will have conducted the
Guildford Philharmonic.
The Philharmonic Society suffered a
terrible loss during the '80—'81
season, with the death of its
enthusiastic and devoted chairman,
Swithin Margetson. No one
connected with the progress of
music in Guildford will ever forget
his skilful contribution. His work
leaves us all richer. The Society, the
South East Music Trust, the Borough
Council, the South East Arts
Association, and so many
benefactors all make contributions
to a process which is concentrated
in the event which is the concert
having the allowed budget cut in
real terms. Your enjoyment of
Mozart's sublime G Minor
Symphony, Holst's visionary
Planets, and Lutoslawski's
scintillating Concerto for Orchestra
is as much due to their devotion to
their task, as to mine and the
orchestra's. Our enjoyment mounts
as we approach the season; we have
learned that the Guildford audience
listens keenly and is getting steadily
more adventurous, and it is this last
quality that is going to carry us all
on to greater things both as
performers and listeners.

The Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra is the
professional regional Orchestra of the South East of
England. Under its principal conductor and
musicaldirector, Vernon Handley, and led jointly
by Hugh Bean and John Ludlow, the orchestra
gives a regular season of concerts at Guildford
Civic Hall which have been generously supported
by Guildford Borough Council since 1945 and, with
assistance from the South East Music Trust, gives
concerts throughout the region from Canterbury to
Salisbury.
Programmes (details of which can be found on
pages 5, 6 and 7), cover an exceptionally broad
range of repertoire and, in particular, the
‘Enterprising Series’ of concerts have been
recognised for their inclusion of new or rarely
performed works, mostly by British composers, and
are often preceded by a pre-concert seminar at
which a new work can be introduced to the public
by the composer and conductor. This season
features two such seminars on 14 November and 27
March.
Photographs by the Surrey Advertiser and Victor
Slaymark show members of the Guildford
Philharmonic Orchestra at rehearsal in the Civic
Hall, Guildford, and The Maltings, Farnham.

The Orchestra received further
sponsorship from London and South
of England Building Society for its
concert in Salisbury. As the new
year begins the Trust also wishes to
recognise the sponsorship and
support being given by Friary
Meux, Coombs and MEPC for the
Gala Concert which will round off
the Guildford—Freiburg Festival of
Arts and Music. We all hope it will
not be too long before the Orchestra
visits Freiburg and other European
cities.
Financially, the Trust is in a sound
position and I am confident of our
continuing ability to provide the
Some of the year’s highlights
included our first appearances at
Salisbury Cathedral and return
visits to Canterbury, Dorking,
Eastbour, Maidstone and Farnham;
and once again a series of concerts
for schools in Kent.
All of these concerts were well
received by audiences and critics
alike, and it is clear that the
Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra
is becoming well established as
“The Orchestra of the South East’.
A particularly pleasing event was
the renewal and indeed increase in
financial support given by the
Musicians Union. It is very
satisfying to know that the work we
are doing is valued by musicians
and once again we would like to
thank the Musicians Union for all
their help and encouragement.
essential management services
which are necessary to support our
activities throughout the South East.
Looking to the future, it is very clear
that not only the Guildford
Philharmonic but the Arts in
general will be working in a very
different environment than we have
enjoyed and benefited from in the
past. Neither central nor local
government funds will be as readily
available for meeting concert
deficits as they were a few years
ago. This means that the Trust will
have to shoulder a heavier share of
the burden if we are to maintain and
increase our activities. To this end,
we will shortly be launching a major
financial appeal. We have spent a
lot of time over recent months
working closely with professional
fund raising consultants and now
have very detailed plans for our
Appeal. His Grace the Duke of
Norfolk has kindly agreed to act as
President of the Appeal, and we are
very pleased that Lord Onslow will
be the Chairman of the Appeal
Committee. We are now
establishing an Appeal Committee
which is representative of many
facets of business and society
throughout the South East of
England.
Our aim is to raise a minimum sum
of £150,000 to fund the Trust's
activities over the next four years.
The fund will be used for
maintaining and gradually
increasing the number of concerts
that the Orchestra gives throughout
the region; ensuring that adequate
rehearsal time is available for new
and major works; embarking on an
exciting scheme of Master Classes
and other musical activities with
schools; and hopefully for
sponsoring recordings.
We continue to keep in close contact
with South East Arts Association and
the Arts Council, and both
organisations fully support our aims
and plans. We are grateful for all
the help that continues to come from
so many sources and hope that we
can continue to rely on all friends of
the Orchestra for their continuing
support in the future.

conducted over sixty, including the
epic Last Night. In 1960, he was
appointed chief conductor of the

excellence — a reputation which
ensured that recent attempts to close

in its survival. He later became
principal conductor of the Academy
of the BBC.
As well as a conductor, Norman Del

The Guildford Philharmonic Society
by Eric Athis, Chairman
The prospect of a new season of
concerts at the Civic Hall, and
elsewhere, generates a feeling of
excitement in the summer somewhat
similar to the feeling caused by an
orchestra tuning up before a
performance. We look eagerly
through the prospectus, searching
for the familiar — perhapsalittle
doubtful about the unknown, but
experience has taught the more
discriminating among us not to
reject the unfamiliar. After all
everything that we now regard most
highly must have been entirely new
to us at some time in the past.
Anybody reading these words must
be presumed to be a music-lover,
but not everybody who picks up this
brochure is a member of the
Guildford Philharmonic Society,
and it is to those readers in
particular that I would like to
appeal. Quite simply I want you to
join the Society and to persuade as
many as possible of your friends to
do the same. I am sometimes asked
“What doI get for my annual
membership subscription?” Frankly
the short answer to this question is
that in purely practical terms you do
not get very much. A concession on
the season ticket scheme, the right
to attend recitals at Members’
Evenings for a nominal charge, and
a free copy of the Society's
newsletter, ‘‘Notes’’. But why this
emphasis on practical benefits?
What you really get for your
subscription is the satisfaction of
knowing that you are helping to
support professional music making
of a very high standard, not only in
Guildford, but also in many parts of
South-East England. Without the
support, financial and practical,
given by the Society the Guildford
Philharmonic Orchestra would
inevitably be forced to reduce some
of its activities.
The work done by the Society in
support of the Orchestra is
concerned very largely with
publicity of various kinds — always
expensive. During the 1980-1981
season approximately £1000 was
spent on publicity, using the local
and national press. If the Guildford
Borough Council is to continue its
generous support it is essential that
average attendances should be
maintained at a very high level and
this is where publicity can help.
To those who are already members
of the Society I would like to say how
very much your membership is
valued — and I don't mean merely in
a financial context. The greatest
encouragement the Committee can
get is the knowledge that
membership numbers are being
kept high. Everybody knows that
belts have to be tightened in lean
times, and we are most grateful to
those who make their vital
economies elsewhere.
Finally on behalf of the Officers and
Committee of the Society may I say
how much we all hope you will
enjoy the 1981-1982 season.
E. J. Athis.
Chairman,
Guildford Philharmonic Society.

John Lill, born in London in 1944,
received international prominence
in June 1970 when he won first prize
in the Moscow International
Tchaikovsky Competition. At a very
early age he displayed the qualities
that culminated in his triumph in
Moscow. He showed aptitude for the
piano at the age of four, gave his
first recital at the age of nine, and at
fourteen had memorised the
complete keyboard works of
Beethoven. From the age of ten, he
studied at the Royal College of
Music, where he is now professor,
and when appointed at twentyseven he had the distinction of
being the youngest-ever Fellow.

Russia again, this time with Haitink

tour was so successful that he was
invited to stay on in Leningrad to

Leningrad Philharmonic. John Lill

“TESS” by Adrian Williams
Adrian VWilhams
In 1978 he won the national
Menuhin Prize with his
‘Explorations and
Metamorphoses’, and in 1980 the
Epping Forest Centenary award
with ‘'Essex"’.
In 1979 he won the prestigious
Charterhouse Award, and asa
result moved to Charterhouse in
January 1980. As the school’s
composer-in-residence, under the
sponsorship of the RVW Trust, and
with the support of the South East
Arts Association, he is able to devote
a great deal of his time to
composition.
I write this in July 1981, in
anticipation, as the work, ‘‘Tess’’, is
not yet written. Nevertheless, the
ideas for the work based on the
famous Hardy novel have been in
my mind for several years, since I
first read the book. The commission
from the Guildford Philharmonic
Orchestra has therefore provided
an opportunity for me to bring my
ideas to fruition.
The original ideas were for a set of
piano pieces, simple, and intimately
expressing the sympathy I feel for
the character of Tess, and the
affinity I feel with the historic and

were never written, though I dare

A while ago I spent a day tracing on

makes to find her deserting
husband, which Hardy describes in
detail. The orchestral work which is
taking shape will bea portrayal of
the likely thoughts of the hapless girl
as she sets out before dawn from her
home village along footpaths and
over hills to find her beloved. ‘'Tess’’
is to be a kind of tone painting, then,
of an expressive and tender nature,
not using a massive orchestra, but
including a small part for women’s
chorus. It will be of about twenty
minutes’ duration.
