Summary
Fifth Bernarr Rainbow Lecture,
given at The Royal Over-Seas
League, London, 11 May 2010
Gavin Henderson grew up in Brighton, went to art schools at Brighton, Kingston and the Slade, and worked as a professional trumpeter. He has directed festivals at York, Bracknell, Brighton and Dartington (1985–2010). He was Principal of Trinity College of Music from 1994 to 2006, moving the College to the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich and merging it with the Laban Centre for Dance. He has served on some of the most influential musical organisations, often as chair, has received honorary degrees or fellowships from several institutions, and he was made a CBE in 2004. He is now Principal of the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
I feel very honoured, and not a little daunted, to be giving this talk under the auspices of the Bernarr Rainbow Trust. As a former Principal of Trinity College of Music it was my privilege to bestow Honorary Fellowship upon Bernarr Rainbow in recognition of his untiring and inspirational work in music education. We were lucky to have Peter Dickinson as one of our Board Members at that time, and Peter has of course done so much to keep the influence of Bernarr Rainbow very much alive, not least in the support offered by the eponymous trust.
