What's on in Upper Newbold

Derbyshire, England

Share:X / TwitterFacebookWhatsApp

Upper Newbold sits quietly in Derbyshire with enough charm to keep you from needing to travel far for entertainment. The local pub often hosts a quiz night that leaves even the most stoic regulars laughing until it hurts. It is hard to beat having a good game of darts or a pint nearby when the rain starts tapping on the window. There are plenty of community events popping up around the village green and the church hall without needing to hunt for them. Families can find a storytime session while neighbours swap recipes at the next market stall. Near Here keeps track of what is going on so you do not have to waste time checking flyers in the post box.

Spanish Galicia SO – Spotlight on Spain

The Spanish Galicia Symphony Orchestra, the first Spanish orchestra to grace the series for decades, brings with them a Mediterranean-inspired programme. Rapidly making a mark on the international scene, their Music Director, Roberto González-Monjas, will be joined by “the new face of classical guitar”, Thibaut Garcia, who will take the spotlight for Rodrigo’s exquisite Concierto de Aranjuez. The concert opens with the fiery elegance of Falla’s Three Dances from his ballet The Three-Cornered Hat. After the interval, journey through the enchanting world of Ravel’s whimsical Mother Goose Suite and soak up the lush, evocative portrait of Seville’s soul in Turina’s Sinfonia sevillana. The concert culminates in a mesmerizing crescendo with Ravel’s hypnotic Boléro.

Neil Cowley Trio: Built on Bach

Built on Bach is an evening of Neil Cowley Trio music using Bach’s work as a ‘jumping off point’ for their iconic jazz sound. “He was the beginning of it all – the fundament to my technique and the core of my musicality”. Neil Cowley didn’t realise the profound impact that Johann Sebastian Bach had on his career until he stumbled upon his gravestone in Leipzig, Germany. Cowley is a man of duplicity, as he says, “the heart-felt jazz-soul-blues stuff: and the head, the classical” ( Interview with Andy Robson, Jazzwise) Formed in the late 2000s, the Neil Cowley Trio released their first studio album in June 2006, through Cowley’s own record label, Hide Inside Records. After the original album established Cowley as a dazzling pianist and stunning composer, he examined the possibilities of the acoustic piano trio and created a unique trademark sound that delivered powerful music of massive dynamic range and contrast. At the heart of their captivating live performances is Cowley’s marvellously English wit, mischievous humour and remarkable rapport with his audience. Having taken time for a solo career exploring electronics and contemporary classical music, Cowley came back to his trio and brought all he’d learned to develop their existing jazz style. Using Bach’s original pieces as a starting point, together with his bandmates Rex Horan (bass) and Evan Jenkins (drums), new compositions took place.

Thomas Stearn: ‘Where Light is a Thought’ Song Cycle Premiere

The premiere of Thomas Stearn’s ‘Where Light is a Thought’, also featuring composition by Anna Appleby. There will also be a free Rush Hour concert in the Upper Chapel earlier in the day performed by Classical Student Ensembles. Doors 5:10pm, start time 5:30pm. In this Song Cycle premiere of Thomas Stearn’s ‘Where Light is a Thought’, five poems by Katharine Towers tell the story of a lone figure who walks from darkness into light. She leaves her home during the night and walks through woods and then onward into fields, encountering a holly tree and a robin. As dawn arrives the world slowly appears, each of its details acquiring colour and shape and, in some way, becoming real. The musical settings of the poems immerse the listener in the journey of the lone figure as she walks, stopping at various points to observe, listen and think. Programme Tom Stearn – Where light is a thought – Song Cycle Premiere with Teresa McKendrick (Mezzo-soprano), Iris Rea (Cello) and Alley Bridge-York (Harp) Plus performances from: Alley Bridge-York (Harp) & Charlie Hardwick (Cello) Anna Appleby – From the River – Song Cycle performed by Teresa McKendrick (Mezzo-soprano) & Yang Guo (Piano) From the River is a short song cycle woven from three poems by Elizabeth Barrett Browning: A Musical Instrument How Do I Love Thee?
