Review: BBC PROMS: RAVEL’S PIANO CONCERTO FOR THE LEFT HAND, Royal Albert Hall
by Debbie Gilpin - July 21, 2025
A slightly curious evening lay in wait with this Prom, performed by Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra under the guiding baton of Chief Conductor Mark Wigglesworth. Shostakovich, Ravel and Walton are all familiar names to the classical music enthusiast, but the pieces themselves don’t appear to have anything to link them; that it’s the 50th anniversary of Shostakovich’s death and the 150 years since Ravel’s birth is possibly as close as we’re going to get.

Review: BBC PROMS: VIVALDI AND BACH, Royal Albert Hall
by Debbie Gilpin - July 21, 2025
Once Proms season comes around, there aren’t many better places to be on a Sunday morning than at the Royal Albert Hall. It was a return to more traditional Proms fare this time, with a trip to the 17th and 18th centuries for a selection of mostly Vivaldi and Bach pieces - although the programme also featured work from some of their contemporaries, such as Giovanni Legrenzi and Nicola Matteis Jr.

Review: BBC PROMS: THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK AND BEYOND WITH SAMARA JOY, Royal Albert Hall
by Debbie Gilpin - July 21, 2025
The scheduling of certain Proms seems to be a controversial topic in some quarters, with certain factions expressing a desire for the first week of the season to be entirely classical - and then start dipping into different genres once the dust has settled. That’s not the way things are being done this year, however, with jazz newcomer Samara Joy making her Proms debut in the second concert of the season, and hot on the heels of back-to-back Grammys success.

Review: SUNLAND, Riverside Studios
by Amber-Rae Stobbs - July 21, 2025
Evolution has always been seen as a 'necessity'. That for the human race to thrive and survive, we had to constantly be better, be more advanced, create new technology. For the most part, this is true, but as time goes on, the reality begins to set in. The Earth is dying. And humans caused it. SUNLAND at the Riverside Studios is opening up that conversation this month.

Review: POOR CLARE, Orange Tree Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - July 19, 2025
Poor Clare, written by Chiara Atik and directed by Blanche McIntyre, tells the story of how Clare (Arsema Thomas) is influenced by fellow Assisi resident Francis (Freddy Carter) to abandon her life of riches and become devoted to God, founding the Order of Poor Ladies as a discipline of the soon-to-be Saint Francis. The play opens with Clare getting her hair done in a complicated style by two of her servants, Peppa (Liz Kettle) and Alma (Jacoba Williams), discussing the concept of poverty and what can be done about it.
