INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Marlborough College Summer
School’s programme of entertainment, giving
details of an exciting and eclectic mix of lectures,
recitals and concerts for summer 2016.
The Summer School team works very hard throughout the year to
devise this tantalising line-up, which offers a wide range of events to
suit all tastes and interests.
All
Entertainment
is Free for
Summer School
residents
Some entertainment carries
a charge for non-residents
The twice weekly gala concerts, which, for the most part, are held
in our famous and historic Memorial Hall, are the highlight. This
year, we are thrilled to welcome Michael Palin, Natalie Williams, a
return performance from Illyria, Collabro, The Locrian Ensemble
of London, Si Cranstoun, Bella Hardy and Lee Jackson as Elvis
to round things off!
In addition, there are recitals given by two of Marlborough
College’s leading music scholars, a performance by the excellent
Exultate Singers in Chapel, and the usual weekly lunchtime organ
recitals, which feature the College’s famous Beckerath organ.
With a further array of choral, jazz, classical, film, folk and
alternative events it is very much hoped that this will complement
perfectly the inspirational educational opportunity of Marlborough
College Summer School.
Following the success of 2015, Summer School is once again a four week event, which enables the
entertainment programme to promote more concerts and events than ever before. Whether you are
visiting us for the first time or returning, you won’t be disappointed. With picturesque surroundings,
fascinating architecture and excellent performance facilities, this should prove a refreshing, enriching
and rewarding experience.
We look forward to meeting you, or renewing our acquaintance, and sharing our enthusiasm for the
finer things in life!

Victorian Marlborough College
Clare Russell
Monday 11th July
Ellis Theatre 5.15pm – 6.00pm
Free for Summer School customers
General Public £5 (on the door)
Marlborough College was founded as part of the
Radicalism of the 1840s to give a cut-price but high
quality education to the middle classes, broadening
educational access, with a firm religious grounding.
The influence of Thomas Arnold and Tom Brown’s
Schooldays is apparent in early Masters’ close
connections with Rugby School.
Discover the hardships of the Spartan regime
of poor heating, food and sanitation along
with epidemics of diseases such as scarlet fever,
the Great Rebellion of 1851 and the origins
and uses of the College’s Victorian buildings,
including its great jewel, Bodley and Garner’s
magnificent High Gothic Chapel.
Marlborough College Scholar Recital
Helena Mackie - Oboe
Paul Turner - Piano
Monday 11th July
Helena’s musical training began as a chorister at Salisbury Cathedral at the age
of eight, one highlight of which was singing in a concert at the Wigmore Hall for
Elizabeth Kenny. After starting on the violin, she took up the oboe aged nine
and is now in her third year in the National Youth Orchestra. She has interests
in composing, a cappella singing and is a big fan of The Great British Bake Off!

Week 1 | 11-15 July
General Haig: ‘Butcher of the Somme’?
David Du Croz
Tuesday 12th July
The centenary of the Battle of the Somme is an appropriate time
to consider a number of related issues, not least the quality of the
generalship in that battle. This talk will focus on Douglas Haig in
particular, a general whose performance has been the subject of
almost constant reinterpretation since the end of the First World
War. The talk will not anticipate the outcome of the war over the
next two years, but will attempt a balanced assessment of Haig’s
leadership in the context of the events of the second half of 1916.
An Evening with Michael Palin
Tuesday 12th July
Memorial Hall 8.00pm – 10.00pm
Free for Summer School Residents
Non-Residents and General Public £20

World in 80 Days; Pole to Pole; Full Circle;
Hemingway Adventure; Sahara; Himalaya;
New Europe and Brazil.
Michael has published three volumes of diaries;
1969–1979: The Python Years and 1980-1988:
Halfway to Hollywood and 1988-1998: Travelling

Pythons, performed a ten night sell-out show at
the 02 Arena in London – Monty Python Live
(mostly) - One Down Five to Go.
In 2000, Michael was awarded a CBE for services

Week 1 | 11-15 July
At a Crossroads: Taft, Roosevelt,
Wilson, Debs and the 1912
Presidential Election.
Richard Willmett
Wednesday 13th July
The awkward incumbent, the returning behemoth,
the Ivy Leaguer from the reborn South and the
evangelist of the working man – the 1912 election
was the USA at its most diverse.
At a time when the country was poised to
turn growth and regional control into global
dominance the electorate faced a choice far
wider than the norm.
The National Trust in Bath: Past,
Present and Future
Tom Boden
Wednesday 13th July
The resurgent Democrats – desperate to leave
their Civil War legacy behind – faced off against
a Republican Party irrevocably split by the
personal ambition of its favourite son. All the

Worlds Apart
Azi Ahmed
Thursday 14th July
In 1999, the British Army took a great leap forward in
history by putting women through the rigorous British SAS

Saint or Sinner: The Life of
Sir Bernard Spilsbury
Diane Janes

Almost seventy years after his death, Sir Bernard Spilsbury
remains one of the best known names in pathology and his
influence on various criminal trials continues to be a source

in the annals of criminal investigation.
American Roots Music:
Guitars and Songs
Brooks Williams
Monday 18th July
Guitarist, singer, songwriter Brooks Williams
digs deep into the roots of American music
with a programme of original and traditional
country blues. Kris Kristofferson’s classic,
‘Nobody Wins,’ Dave Alvin’s ‘King Of California’
and the jazz-tinged ‘Hesitation Blues’ sit neatly
alongside Williams’ own J.J. Cale influenced
‘Joker’s Wild,’ blues-rocker ‘My Turn Now’ and
the Evil Knievel tale ‘Year Began.’
Ranked in the ‘Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists’ and
nominated ‘best male vocalist’ by Spiral Earth,
Williams is the ‘real deal.’ Born in Statesboro,
Georgia, USA, and raised in the cradle of blues
and Americana country, Williams’ music later
took flight in the Boston and New York music
scene - the same scene that gave rise to the likes
of Bonnie Raitt and Chris Smither.
concert appearances in the UK, Europe and
the USA.
His non-stop worldwide tour, which tonight
brings him to Marlborough, includes regular
Come and see for yourself the man Roots says
is ‘Americana at its finest.’
Week 2 | 18-22 July
Parks for the People
Letta Jones
Tuesday 19th July
Offering fresh air, a ‘civilising’ influence and an
improvement to physical health, the founders of
the nineteenth century new, free public parks for
urban dwellers were confident of the benefits of
green space for all.
Public Parks became famous for their fabulous
flower displays, fine buildings, lakes, sports
facilities and grand designs. In this lecture, Letta
will explore the origins of these innovative
designed spaces in the cities of Victorian Britain,
using Victoria Park in London as a case study.
Letta Jones, MA, is a Lecturer in Garden History
and Horticulture who taught at Capel Manor and
Illyria
William Shakespeare’s
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Birkbeck Colleges for 15 years. She has been
a Summer School tutor for 12 years. As a

national standard awards of Green Flag and
Green Heritage status in the heart of 21st
century London.
GALA
Tuesday 19th July
Court 7pm – 9pm
Free for under 18s accompanied
by an adult
In their 25th season, Illyria are performing
William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s
Dream. Perennially popular, universally loved, the
play follows four couples – three human and one
fairy – whose passions are sorely tested when
a troupe of amateur theatricals rehearse a play
about a doomed love affair.
Add into the mix a heady brew of confusion,
magic and mischief and you have the perfect
comedy for a summer’s evening.
Week 2 | 18-22 July
1791: Mozart’s Last Year
Robin Nelson
Wednesday 20th July
In 1781, released from his musical duties in
Salzburg and the overbearing influence of his
father, Mozart began a new life as a freelance
musician in the Austrian capital.
He was soon busy teaching, composing and
performing in music-mad Vienna and establishing
an array of musical friends and intellectual
associates such as Joseph Haydn and Baron van
Swieten. After a seven year period of popularity
and success his fortunes began to decline
however: neither he nor his wife managed their
financial affairs properly and both were suffering
from bouts of ill-health.
In 1791, The Magic Flute was successfully
premiered, a strange messenger came with a
commission for a Requiem Mass and an urgent
request arrived from Prague for a new Opera.
In between times, Mozart somehow conjured
up a sublime Clarinet Concerto, but as the year
went on Mozart’s health took a downward turn.
Robin Nelson, former Director of Music at
the College, tells the story of a dramatic, final
twelve months in the tragically short life of a
musical genius.

The European Project
Michael Hart
Monday 25th July
The roots of the EU are to be found, not in utopian federalist dreams, but in a concrete political project,
largely driven by France, to refrain Germany from becoming, for the third time, the hegemon of Europe.
In time, the project developed its own dynamic, creating a successful Common Market, integrating former
fascist and communist states and aspiring to become a third power between West and East. But more
ambitious schemes – the euro, a common foreign policy, open frontiers – have revealed the limits of
European solidarity. It is, once again, nation before continent and the future is uncertain.
Marlborough College Scholar Recital
Sarah Mattinson - Flute
Clare Toomer - Piano
Monday 25th July
Sarah Mattinson has enjoyed being a music scholar at Marlborough
College, where she sings in the choir and plays in many ensembles. She

They Also Served: Animals in
the First World War
Peter Street
Tuesday 26th July
War Horse gives a valuable insight into how
animals were involved in, and affected by, the
First World War. The lecture considers the role
of certain animals, birds and fish involved in
the fighting ranging from the horse, camel and
dog to the pigeon and glow worm. Similarly the
war also impacted on animals in Britain itself.
Here reference will be made to animal welfare
organisations, dogs and their owners and the
response of London Zoo.
Finally, the lecture explores what happened
to dogs and horses who survived the war and
how those animals who did not were to
be remembered.

Charles Dickens: A Tale of Two Sisters
Ronald Dukes
Monday 1st August
Charles Dickens’s domestic life was a troubled one, the circumstances
of which are presented in a fascinating and novel way in this lecture.
A tale is woven around the lives of the two women with whom
Dickens had the closest bond and is not one which can be said to
end happily. Relationships are traced from first to last in a colourful
contrast of social position and personality. The disturbed side of this
great writer is there to be explored. This lecture lifts the veil on a
significant part of his life which was meant to be concealed.

Sir John Soane: Architect of
a Lost London
Chris Rogers
Best remembered today as a collector, connoisseur and founder of a much–loved museum, Soane was
one of the leading architects of Regency England. He built a series of lovely villas and, along with John
Nash, created the great terraces overlooking Regent’s Park. However, his contemporary fame rested on
a series of great public buildings in London, of which the Bank of England was the grandest. Sadly most of
these buildings have not survived, victims to barbarism, fire or bomb. His work and his influence deserve
greater recognition.
