Welcome to All the Pleasure

A Restoration Musical Banquet 

Members of The Academy of Ancient Music, alongside students from the Historical Performance programme at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, perform music from Charles II’s London, bringing to life the pomp and pageantry of a coronation, the febrile energy of the reopened theatres, the extravagant feasts and exuberant dances, the intimacy of the chamber and the glories of the Chapel Royal.Instruments and ensembles of the age will be conjured, from the King’s Trumpets, the “Wind Musick”, the sackbuts and cornetts to the Twenty-four Violins, Charles’ orchestra modelled on that which had made such an impression during his exile at the Paris court of the young Louis XIV. The age’s most celebrated composers will be there too: John Blow, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Matthew Locke, and, of course, Henry Purcell. 

John Blow : Suite from Venus and Adonis

BACH: Preludes & Fugues from Das Wohltemperirte Clavier

John Irving (piano)

Complementing MiNM’s first ‘virtual’ lockdown concert in summer 2020, John Irving has recorded a programme that cuts across both books of that mighty ‘Old Testament’ of the keyboard literature, and mixes both major and minor keys. In this selection, we have the opportunity to experience some of Bach’s more extended fugues (for instance F minor, Book 1 and F sharp minor, Book 2 – the latter of which involves three different fugue subjects, all of which combine towards the end); and also to compare and contrast his treatment of the same keys (F minor and F sharp minor) in each of the two Books (1722/3 and 1743/4).

A selection of 10 Preludes & Fugues from J S Bach’s magisterial keyboard collection, Das Wohltemperirte Clavier

Prelude & Fugue in:

G major, Bk2 BWV884

F sharp minor, Bk1 BWV859

D minor, Bk2 BWV875

F minor, Bk2 BWV881

E flat major, Bk2 BWV876

F sharp minor, Bk2 BWV883

E major, Bk2 BWV878

F minor, Bk1 BWV857

G minor, Bk1 BWV861

F major, Bk2 BWV880

11 October 2020
The concert in Series 13 on Sunday 11 October 2020 is available on our YouTube channel. 

The concert features London-born pianist John Paul Ekins in a programme which includes Mozart (Piano Sonata in F, K332), Schumann (Novelette in F, Op. 21/2) and C. Chaminade (Automne Op 35/2), recorded from his music room in south-west London.

The music from this programme spans just over a century from 1784 when Mozart’s sonata was published in Vienna, through to Schumann’s Novelette published in 1838, to 1886 when French composer and pianist Cécile Chaminade’s ‘Automne’ was first published. 

John Paul Ekins recently set up Cats, Chats & 88 Keys, an online concert series for maintaining a connection with audiences and raising money for first the NHS, then Help Musicians UK. The series is founded on a passionate belief that classical music is for everyone, fuelled by determination to instil his love for music in others.

John Paul Ekins is a graduate from the Royal College of Music and was a scholar at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama studying with John Barstow and Charles Owen respectively. A winner of nineteen prizes at international competitions, he was presented to her Majesty the Queen and has enjoyed a busy career of performing and teaching around the UK and internationally; highlights included recitals at the Wigmore Hall and concerto performances at The Royal Albert Hall.

He shares his home with three quirky cats, who are never far from the music-making. 

13 September 2020

The first concert of the 20/21 Season of Music in New Malden features Ursula Paludan Monberg on horn and John Irving on piano.    

While we can’t (yet) welcome you into New Malden Methodist Church for the start of the season, we are delighted to be able to bring you a filmed concert recorded there at the beginning of September.  
The concert is available from our YouTube channel from 3.00pm on Sunday 13 September 

Ursula Paludan Monberg has previously performed at Music in New Malden together with John Irving and their return visit features some gems of the nineteenth-century horn repertoire by Jacques-Francois Gallay – principally his Chants du Coeur: Melodies Favorites de Schubert.   Ursula and John will also be playing pieces for solo horn by Gallay and for solo piano by Schubert, and their programme will end with the finale from Carl Czerny’s Brillante Fantasien – an imaginative virtuoso setting of Schubert songs.
