ST MARYLEBONE FESTIVAL
Between the dates of 17th – 22nd July St Marylebone Parish Church welcomes back their annual St Marylebone Festival!
Every year the festival (brought as part of the St Marylebone’s Changing Lives project), tells the stories of the local community in creative and vivid ways. Join us for a week of music, dance and drama. There is something of a South-American flavour to this year’s programme. Indeed many of the South American ‘Liberators’ of the early nineteenth century, such as Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín, lived in the parish. With this is mind, come and learn how to tango with experts from the neighbouring Arthur Murray Dance Studios, or join Joanna MacGregor and her amazing band of musicians for their ‘Tango Nuevo’ evening, or even enjoy food, drink and music at our ‘South American Soirée’.
This year John Rutter, our festival patron (who was born above the neighbouring Globe Pub) to lead a ‘Come and Sing’ afternoon; also celebrate the 150th birthday of Ralph Vaughan Williams with The Joyful Company of Singers and the English Folk Dance and Song Society. Hear the premières of some exciting new commissions too: new Marylebone-themed songs by current and recent students from the neighbouring Royal Academy of Music performed by international counter-tenor Andrew Watts; and a new piece based around the characters on the Charles Dickens mural on Devonshire Terrace written and devised by composer Martin Bussey. Also delighted to welcome the world-renowned Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, in a concert that charts the well-known St Marylebone connection with the Wesley family. And if that was not enough, we celebrate some of our lesser known, and perhaps more surprising, local figures such as Vaslav Nijinsky, Florence Nightingale, the late clarinettist Alan Hacker, and even Madonna!
