One of the highlights of the Summer School is the series of superb lunchtime and evening concerts and other entertainment. We are still finalising the programme of events for August 2009 but the likely pattern is as follows:

Some venues on site may be available in the late evenings for alternative or extra informal recitals, to be arranged by students with the blessing of the ISSMUS Committee. This may give a chance to perform longer works than can be included in the formal student concerts.

The final late-night Cabaret on Friday night is a well established and often hilarious occasion, a chance for everyone to relax and enjoy a range of (often unsuspected) talent in more light-hearted vein!

It is in our Summer School concerts that the ISSMUS ‘integrated approach to music-making’ becomes most apparent. Last year our concerts featured our esteemed President Bernard Roberts, the awe-inspiring accordionist Milos Milivojevic and some remarkable student recitals including performances of work composed during the Summer School. This year we can promise an equally exciting range of concerts.
