Weldon's The Tempest
Advertisement
John Weldon’s ‘The Tempest’ or ‘The Enchanted Island’ has been the inspiration for this year’s Summer School, once again in collaboration with the Academy of Ancient Music.
Interwoven with other music by Weldon, Purcell and other contemporaries, Students have had the opportunity to work with a dynamic faculty including an inspirational dance specialist whose research and expertise is inspiring musicians to look afresh at the dance music which is at the heart of the Baroque repertoire.
An outstanding example of post-Restoration theatre, this work has not had the prominence in the repertoire that it deserves, partly as a result of uncertainty over the composer’s identity!
