Goosfest - The Life of Sir John Barbirolli - a lecture by Geoff Scargill
Sir John Barbirolli (1899-1970), above all, is remembered as conductor of the Halle Orchestra in Manchester, an orchestra he saved from dissolution in 1943 and conducted for the rest of his life. People who visit the Bridgewater Concert Hall will be familiar with the imposing bronze statue of him that greets you as you go inside. He has remained an iconic figure, both in Manchester and in the history of national music in the UK.
The life of this major figure of 20th Century music will be discussed. Geoff Scargill is an excellent lecturer and an accomplished author. He was educated at Manchester Grammar School and Manchester University, where he graduated with honours in German. Since 1961, he has lived in Stockport. Geoff is a recognised expert lecturer on a wide variety including the life and times of Edward Watkin – ‘Victoria’s Railway King’ and Sir Edward Elgar.
This talk is in collaboration with Goostrey Guild (Guild Members free).
Interval refreshments available
