CW editorial note - 2 July 2011

The music of the future

The music of the future

This week on CW, Paul Kilbey reviews a series of experimental lunchtime concerts arranged by Nonclassical at the Spitalfields Music Festival in London. Timandra Harkness reviews Nico Mulhy’s new opera Two Boys at the ENO and Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg at the Glyndebourne Festival, the latter screened at London’s Science Museum. And Rosemary Abadi reviews up-and-coming singer-songwriter Maverick Sabre at the Jazz Café.

Meanwhile, Stephanie Davis asks if ‘tagging’ can be art rather than vandalism, and Timandra Harkness revisits the nature-nurture debate in a review of Project Nim along with Truffaut’s L’enfant sauvage. And in London theatre, Miriam Gillinson reviews Mamet’s Mr Happiness and The Water Engine at the Old Vic Tunnels, while Matt Trueman reviews Propeller’s Richard III at the Hampstead Theatre, and spends the night at the Barbican for Duckie’s Lullaby.
