by Kathleen Atkins and her
management team. Their ingenuity
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.

tl WOTRK....
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.

Slaymark show members of the Guildford
Philharmonic Orchestra at rehearsal in the Civic
Hall, Guildford, and The Maltings, Farnham.

South Hast(Music trust
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.

them Mahler's Sixth and Ninth
symphonies, Bartok’'s First Violin
concerto (with Yehudi Menuhin)

and Prokofiev's Fourth symphony.

His countless tours abroad,

particularly with the Philharmonia,

English Chamber Orchestra and
Northern Sinfonia, have introduced

the world to works by Britten,
Tippett and many other British
composers.

Norman Del Mar has championed

British music at home as well, notleast at the Proms, of which he has

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

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra
and was largely responsible for

creating its reputation for

excellence — a reputation which
ensured that recent attempts to close
it raised a storm of protest resulting
in its survival. He later became
principal conductor of the Academy

of the BBC.

As well as a conductor, Norman Del

Mar is a musical authority, having

written the definitive three-volume

work on Richard Strauss; he is a

Professor at the Royal College of
Music, and Artistic Director of the

Norfolk and Norwich Triennial
Festival, one of the country’s oldest

and most enterprising local festivals.

Alist of over seventy recordings,
together with frequent BBC

broadcasts, have made his name a

The influence of Rudolf Serkin and
Pablo Casals strengthened his love
for chamber music. He has on
numerous occasions appeared in
recital with well-known singers and
chamber artists, and his support and
sensitivity to these artists has always

met with the greatest critical acclaim.

In 1971 he was the winner of the
coveted Dealey Award in Dallas. In
1972, he made his debut in New

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.
John Lill’s highly successful London
debut was in 1963 when he played
Beethoven Five at the Royal Festival

Hong Kong Festival with the
London Philharmonic Orchestra
and Leinsdorf, and in 1975 toured
Russia again, this time with Haitink
and the London Philharmonic; this
tour was so successful that he was
invited to stay on in Leningrad to
give three special concerts with the
Leningrad Philharmonic. John Lill
then went straight to the USA to
play with the Scottish National
Orchestra at their Carnegie Hall,
New York concert. Tours since then
have taken him all over Europe,
quite apart from regular
appearances at the Royal Festival
Hall and other major British centres

“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.
