Since reading music at Homerton College, Cambridge from 2002-2005, David Ӧnaç has focussed on composition.  He remained at Homerton for an additional year to complete an M.Phil in Composition (with Robin Holloway, 2005-6), then completed an MMUS in Composition at the Royal Northern College of Music (with Adam Gorb, 2006-7) and has recently completed his Ph.D in Composition at the University of Manchester (with Camden Reeves). 

Pieces written during David’s compositional studies have received high profile performances, including renowned pianist Peter Donohoe’s performance of Four Études (for solo piano) in Brussels, and the performance of Beginnings (for flute, viola and harp) by principals from the BBC Philharmonic.  Three of the pieces written for David’s Ph.D (an orchestral piece entitled From Different Places, a work for violin and piano named after his goddaughter Ayla, and his piano concerto Newton’s Cradle) also received the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize 2012.  This award takes the form of a commission to write a piece for this year’s Cheltenham Music Festival.  The new work, David’s sixth string quartet, will be premiered by the Carducci Quartet on 8th July 2013. 

Whilst pursuing his academic studies, David has also maintained his performance activities as a pianist.  He plays an established classical repertoire - he completed his LRSM in piano performance with distinction whilst pursuing his Ph.D - and frequently premiers those of his compositions which feature piano, such as his piano concerto in March 2012 at the New Music Northwest Festival in Manchester.  Additionally, he has been pursuing his interest in jazz and gospel.  In the past few years, he has been the Musical Director for several gospel choirs in Manchester, and one of these (Manchester Harmony Gospel Choir) won the University Gospel Choir of the Year 2012 competition in London.  David has also written for gospel choir, and subsequent to the competition, his piece The Heavens Declare was broadcast on BBC Radio 2.

This year for the first time, Homerton College has been chosen as one of the venues for the Cambridge Shakespeare Festival.  The production we are hosting is 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' to be performed every evening between 29th July and 17th August in our beautiful gardens that will form the perfect setting for Shakespeare’s delightful fairy-tale world of love, jealousy and youthful exuberance. This captivating production brings to life all the magic and humour of Shakespeare’s best-loved play. Why not invite your children to come along dressed as fairies to add to what promises to be a spectacular evening!

Tickets are available to purchase here.

For a third year Homerton College has hosted its Family Day with around 150 alumni and their families joining in with games and activities, and picnicking on the lawn.

Kate Pretty, Principal, and Peter Warner, Senior Tutor, were hands-on with an archaeology workshop which proved very popular, as were the crafts and dissecting owl pellets.  Children also had the opportunity to take part in some sporting activities, procure some lovely arm art, guess the name of the Homerton Teddy and find the treasure. 

Strawberries and cream and some very tasty cupcakes were consumed and plenty of refreshments were provided.

A big thank you to everyone who helped and we look forward to welcoming you back again next year.

CHARTER BURSARIES

The Charter Choir has just returned from its second international tour – this year to the Istrian region of Croatia (10^th-16^th July 2013).

Performing four concerts in as many days, the Choir was well received by audiences in Pula, Krk, Poreč, and Pješčana Uvala. Under the baton of Homerton’s Director of Music, Daniel Trocmé-Latter, the Choir performed a variety of secular and sacred music, ranging from Palestrina to Stanford to the Beatles. The singers were rewarded for their hard work with organised city tours and boat trips (including dolphin-spotting), as well as relaxation time on the beach.

In October the Charter Choir will admit eight new choristers, and all current members will receive choral scholarships. Alumni visiting Homerton on Saturday 28^th September will be able to hear the Choir sing a selection of their tour repertoire.

Homerton fellow Melanie Keene was one of 1758 delegates at the largest ever meeting of historians of science, the 24^th International Congress of the History of Science, Technology and Medicine (iCHSTM), which recently took place in Manchester from 21^st-28^th July 2013.

Alongside the iCHSTM academic programme, in which she presented her research on ‘the familiar solar system’, she was also involved in running public events which brought the history of Victorian science to new audiences.

The Tables Turned, an interactive drama, was performed at the Portico Library on Friday 26^th July. Developed by Sabine Clarke (University of York) and members of the British Society for the History of Science, the event uses film, costumed characters and role-play participation. Focussing on investigations Victorian men of science actually made into the contemporary craze for holding spiritualistic séances, it invites audience-members to consider a series of questions, including: How are facts and observations made in science? Are there things about the world the sciences will never be able to explain? Should men of science be public authorities on all subjects? From the lively conversations both during and after the event, it appears that debates over the role and remit of the sciences are still very much alive today.

Homerton College hosted 85 year 12 students at four two-day summer residentials over the long vacation. The students came from 24 different state schools in the College’s link areas of Doncaster, Rotherham, Hounslow, Richmond and Kingston.

Summer Schools give students the opportunity to experience life as an undergraduate at Homerton, by taking part in study sessions led by academics at the University, spending time exploring the city centre, and spending time with current Homerton undergraduates.

All students were welcomed to the college by Homertons’ Schools Liaison Officer, Ellen Slack, and were introduced to the courses on offer at the university by Admissions Tutor, Steve Watts.

Students attending the Sciences strand of the Summer Schools chose between sessions built on topics within the A level syllabus, and others introducing new subjects they may not have studied before. Prospective engineers were challenged to build a bridge out of only paper and screws, tested to destruction with a bucket of baked beans.

In the evening a tour of Cambridge led to the Central Science Library, where students were presented with a murder mystery to solve. Protected by crime scene suits, students collected forensic evidence, analysed finger prints, solved puzzles and looked into the motivations of each of the suspects, to decide who had committed the crime.

“I thoroughly enjoyed the talks, the murder mystery and all the activities,” said Garrett May, from The Tiffin School, Kingston-Upon-Thames. “It provided a great insight into Cambridge."

“It was a very valuable experience!" agreed Mae Brooksbank, from Wales High School, Rotherham, who also attended the Sciences Summer School.

The Arts and Humanities Summer Schools included a production of Shakespeare’s ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ performed in Homerton College’s Gardens as part of the Cambridge Shakespeare Festival, and a discussion of it with Dr John Hopkins. Students also looked at Benjamin Britten’s operatic work of the play. Historians looked at the life of Mary, Queen of Scots and the challenges of being a female ruler in a patriarchal society. Other sessions available included History, Philosophy, Art History, English and Children’s Literature.

Jodie Ng, from Ridgewood School, Doncaster, said that the summer school “really helped me understand university life a lot more and answered so many questions I had. I had such a good time, particularly the Shakespeare performance!"

Law, Economics, Politics and Geography were covered in the Social Sciences Summer Schools. Economics students examined how microfinance (including institutions like the Grameen Bank) has helped to transform the lives of some of the world’s poorest people by offering them loans. However, the group also studied some of the challenges and difficulties this type of credit has faced.

Students also listened to short research talks in other areas of the Social Sciences to introduce them to Archaeology, Anthropology, Psychology and Education - subjects they may not have had the opportunity to study so far at school. The chocolate tasting section of the Psychology session certainly went down well with students!

The residentials ended with a closing session from Admissions Tutor Steve Watts on how to make a competitive application to highly selective universities like Cambridge. Steve helped lay to rest some of the misconceptions surrounding the application process and outlined how Admissions Tutors assess applicants.

All involved in the Summer Schools – the academics, student ambassadors and Schools Liaison Officer Ellen Slack – thoroughly enjoyed working with the students who attended the Summer Schools this year, and look forward to welcoming more students to the college in the next academic year.

We are delighted to be launching the volume, Teaching Caribbean Poetry, on 29 October in Homerton Combination Room. Published by Routledge, this book was edited by Professors Beverley Bryan and Morag Styles with contributions from Homerton Fellows, Georgie Horrell and David Whitley.

Working under the umbrella of the Centre for Commonwealth Education at the Faculty of Education, of which Homerton Fellow Mike Younger is the Director, the book is an outcome of the Caribbean Poetry Project which we have been running since 2010. Guests to the launch include Honorary Fellow, Carol Ann Duffy, the Poet Laureate, who is our patron, and Sir Andrew Motion, Director of the online Poetry Archive, one of our advisors with whom we work closely. Members of our project team based at The University of the West Indies in Jamaica will be present as well as other Fellows, Caribbean poets and Judy Curry, Chief Executive of the Commonwealth Education Trust which funds the project. There will be speeches of welcome from Professor Geoff Ward, the Principal of Homerton , and Mike Younger.   Beverley Bryan and Morag Styles will provide some background to the book.

The Formal Hall later that evening will have a Caribbean flavour and the sound of steel drums will be heard in the distance!

The annual student versus Old Boys football match was played at Homerton on Saturday 12th October 2013.

The match started at a very high tempo end to end with both teams trying to find a rhythm.  After 5 minutes the students had their most promising attack with a ball crossed into the box, deflected goalward resulting in a save on the line by Old Boys goalkeeper Phil Hart, showing that the sands of time have not yet diminished his reflexes.

The Old Boys mounted the next attack and after being fed through by Wildman, Lee Crick hit a fine shot from the left into the right hand corner of the net to put the Old Boys 1 – 0 up.

The game continued at a frenetic pace with both teams squandering numerous chances.  In the 24th minute however Rohan Dodd made a run from his own defence, and stoked the ball past the Old Boys keeper to level the score.

Both teams changed personnel with ‘roll on roll off’ subs and in the 44th minute the Old Boys took the lead again once more through Lee Crick, who scored with a well struck shot from the edge of the area.

Half time 2 – 1 to the Old Boys.

The students started the second half well and gained three consecutive corners but couldn’t find the finish required.  Again the game was end to end and the Old Boys were mounting more and more attacks with Lee Crick searching for his hat trick, shooting just wide after 55 minutes.  2 minutes later Zac Newby put the Old Boys 3 – 1 up. 

From an Old Boys corner in the 69th minute man of the match Lee Crick got his well deserved hat trick with a powerful well directed header.

The game continued in its all out attacking style but with no further score to either team the match finished in a 4 – 1 victory to the Old Boys.

It was an enjoyable occasion played in a good sporting manner.  Obviously being only the second week of the new academic year, this was early days for the students, and we hope they have a very successful 2013-14 season in division one.
