Guildhall School of Music & Drama has announced its Autumn Season of events, which
will 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 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.
