Musicians from the Guildhall School will be joining the BBC for their two Total Immersion days, devoted to Thea Musgrave (15 February) and Villa-Lobos (8 March). The Guildhall New Music Ensemble is conducted by James Weeks in a programme of music by Aldo Clementi, Salvatore Sciarrino, Edmund Finnis (a recent DMus graduate) and Thomas Fournil (a current BMus composer) (3 April).

Rolf Hind's new CD of chamber and orchestra music is launched in 24 February with a presentation and performance of The City of Love for piano, violin and voice. Guildhall Research Works has a one-day conference Composers, Performers and their Audiences: exploring dialogue and interaction which includes findings from an audience engagement project based around two Britten Sinfonia concerts.
A major event must surely be the performances of Jonathan Dove's opera Pinocchio, directed by Martin Lloyd Evans and conducted by Dominic Wheeler, originally written for Opera North (4-10 March)
Two major Shakespeare plays are being presented, with Henry V in the Milton Court Studio Theatre directed by Martin Hutson (10-15 February) and Hamlet in the Milton Court Theatre (17-22 February)
