Jersey Summer Music 2021

19th-24th July 2021

 

We are all thrilled with the programme on offer for this year’s summer course ‘Jersey Summer Music’.  Open islandwide to young instrumentalists from 8yrs of age upwards.

Highlights this year include the visiting ‘School of Noise’ guest ensemble (‘Electro-Pop’ workshops featuring ‘Laser Harp’…don’t ask!!!), an evening performance at Durrell at Dusk, and a spectacular concert at L’Etacquerel Fort!

We will once again be welcoming over a Visiting Faculty to join our brilliant local team, including Damon Flanagan (Professor of Violin at Trinity Laban Conservatoire), Ed Leaker (Head of Woodwind at Well’s Cathedral School), and Steve Thompson (St Dunstan’s College/London Concert Orchestra/Glen Miller Orchestra).

Our thanks go once again to the One Foundation for their continued support to allow all these visiting elements to happen, which always adds a whole new level to the course each year.  A range of other activities run alongside the musical programme, so we hope this presents another nicely balanced week of music and ‘letting off some steam’ fun!

We look forward to welcome all instrumentalists from 8yrs of age upwards, and hope to get fully subscribed again so please don’t delay in getting your forms in if you would like to participate.

 

Please check back for the brochure and application form.

Support us

Support us

Whilst income from Venue Hire helps to cover the running costs of the property, therefore allowing tuition fees to be kept as low as possible, the academy’s regular programme of Projects and Events can only operate through financial support.  For various projects over the years we have been grateful for the support of organisations including the Jersey Arts Trust, Dorothy Chapman Trust, Strasser Foundation, Finderman Charitable Trust, RBS Coutts, Vibert and Volaw, One Foundation, and Jersey Tourism.

We have also gratefully received the support of private donations and memorial contributions in lieu of flowers, all of which has helped to fund these exciting and inspiring educational activities. However, there is still a great deal more that we can do with the right support, and if you are able to help us in any way then please contact us.

Outreach

Outreach

Another aim of the academy is to reach out islandwide, taking musical performance out and about to the island’s schools and community, and exploring unusual concert locations. These activities provide students with valuable performing experience and share the expertise of visiting musicians. Visit the ‘Projects and Events‘ section of our website to read about the various projects and events we have organised recently.

Inspiring Links

Inspiring Links

As you can see from our regular Projects and Events, we have developed links with many of the UK’s leading conservatoires, including Chetham’s School of Music, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and the Royal College of Music, leading to visits from some of the country’s leading teachers and young musicians. International links are also established with institutions further abroad, such as the Madeiran Escola Das Artes and Coutances Ecole de Musique, leading to opportunities for local young musicians to become involved in tours abroad.

‘We hope to share the expertise of our young musicians and teachers with the island, and will look forward to welcoming Jersey students to Madeira in the near future.’

Dr Ines Jardim,
Director,
Escola Das Artes, Funchal, Madeira

‘The Jersey Academy of Music presents a unique opportunity to develop and nurture the musical talent on the island. The idea of encouraging links with other institutions can only enhance the experience of the young musicians in Jersey.’

Caroline Palmer,
Head of Chamber Music,
Guildhall School of Music and Drama

“I have been really impressed by the enthusiasm and vision that Chris George and Emmanuelle Dumas have shown towards the Jersey Academy of Music.  The potential to expand the musical learning and experience of the young musicians on the Island is an important one and having worked recently with the Jersey Instrumental Service and the young people of the island, I feel that there exists a healthy approach and sense of collaboration and consideration which will benefit the many aspiring musicians on Jersey”.

Stephen Threlfall,
Director,
Chetham’s School of Music
