Autumn season: free digital

events at the Guildhall
School of Music and Drama

Guildhall School of Music & Drama
today announces its Autumn Season of

events, which will all be delivered
digitally and free of charge.

From late-September 2020, online audiences
will be able to enjoy a mixture of live broadcast
and pre-recorded content from across all School
departments, created, performed and filmed at
Guildhall School with the required social
distancing.

Soprano Julia Bullock will be welcomed as Artist
in Residence at Guildhall School for the seasons
2020-2022. Known for her versatile artistry and probing intellect, Bullock will draw on
her depth of experience to work with Vocal students in masterclasses and performance
projects, guiding them on programming and on developing their own creative processes.

Guildhall’s Autumn Season music events include the rescheduled Gold Medal final - the
School’s most prestigious prize, this year celebrating instrumentalists - and the return of
Takuo Yuasa to conduct the Guildhall Symphony Orchestra in a programme of Dvořák,
Janáček, and Sibelius.

Guildhall School’s Autumn drama productions include a re-imagining of Shakespeare’s A
Midsummer Night’s Dream directed by Suba Das, and a new devised piece
entitled Pod co-created by Jamie Bradley and Vicki Igbokwe, made with the Company.

Students on the BA Performance and Creative Enterprise (PACE) programme will also
share a series of self-devised works in a three-day online festival called Chapters,
