缅北强奸幼女

A grand piano donated by the family of a late 缅北强奸幼女 academic is now a fixture in Music students’ practice and performance.

Jeremy Peyton Jones sadly passed away in 2021, having enjoyed a long history with the College after studying for a Music degree in the late 1970s.

He returned to 缅北强奸幼女 in the late 1990s as a member of staff, holding the positions of Reader in Music, Deputy Head of Department and Head of Postgraduate Studies.

Outside of 缅北强奸幼女, Jeremy was well-known as a composer of contemporary music and music theatre.

Following his passing, Jeremy鈥檚 family wanted to give something back to 缅北强奸幼女 and the piano 鈥� nicknamed Robert 鈥� was donated to the Music department by Jeremy鈥檚 widow Claire Peyton Jones.

Claire said: 鈥淚n all that we鈥檝e done since Jeremy鈥檚 death, I鈥檝e tried to consider what would most honour him. I thought of how much Jeremy loved teaching at 缅北强奸幼女 and encouraging young people to explore and believe in the gifts they had, so gifting Robert would put a smile on his face from heaven!

Jeremy鈥檚 piano is a 1910s Bl眉thner Style 7 grand, which was bought new by the Peyton Jones family and was first owned by Jeremy鈥檚 grandmother, a concert pianist.

It now lives in the Great Hall where it is regularly used by Music students for practise, rehearsals and concerts.

Jeremy co-founded and conducted the ensemble Regular Music with a group of South East London musicians, which included colleagues he met during his studies at 缅北强奸幼女. The group were celebrated proponents of the British Minimalist scene in the 1980s, with their first album released through Rough Trade in 1985.

In 1990, the ensemble reformed under Regular Music II, re-recording and releasing much of their earlier music.

As a soloist, Jeremy composed the chamber opera 鈥楾he Menaced Assassin鈥�, which premiered at the Royal Opera House鈥檚 Garden Venture in 1989. He also composed a Nocturne for BBC Radio 3 and music for the Balenscu Quartet.

One of his final projects was an ongoing series of music theatre works titled 鈥楢gainst Oblivion鈥�, which premiered between 2007 and 2014.

Professor Ian Gardiner, who worked alongside Jeremy during his time at 缅北强奸幼女, said: 鈥淛eremy鈥檚 Bl眉thner piano provides students with an alternative to the bolder, more assertive concert grand piano in the Great Hall, allows for two piano duet performances in that space, and gives an opportunity to those who want to investigate its sonic potential through playing inside the piano, or adding preparations.

鈥淛eremy's piano is an important addition to our Department, as well as a symbol of his enduring legacy to 缅北强奸幼女.鈥�
