![]() Whilst this is a full-time role, working hours will be flexible, and will include evenings and weekends. ![]() The successful applicant will be a first-rate pianist, with particular experience in piano accompaniment. We are keen to find someone who is excited about the prospect of being immersed in a vibrant school music department. Likewise, there are plenty of opportunities for the Accompanist in Residence to shape their role, through bringing new ideas to the department or developing their own areas of interest – whether that is in choral music, contemporary music, composition, or another area. There is considerable potential for further involvement in the wider musical life of the College: through further exploring options for piano ensemble music and pupil collaborations, supporting the academic curriculum (particularly preparation for the performance requirements of public exams), involvement in theory and aural teaching, and coaching of ensembles. For the right candidate, it is also hoped that some piano teaching will be included in the role. The role will involve working with ambitious pupils working towards Conservatoire or University entrance alongside those at the very start of their musical journeys, helping to ensure that each individual has the opportunity to reach their full potential. We are keen to further develop the support we are able to offer our solo musicians and the team of 40 visiting music teachers in preparing for performances but, also, on a more informal basis as part of the day-to-day music-making that fills the department throughout the week. Our team of accompanists is central to the continued flourishing of music at Radley College: there are at least three concerts and 500 instrumental lessons every week, as well as a busy schedule of exams, competitions, chamber music and other ensembles. We are looking for an excellent graduate pianist to join our thriving music department. Music is at the heart of the school and the practical experience of music, both as performer and audience, is central. MPAA Rating: unrated, with violence, sex, nudity, profanityĬast: Frederick Keeve, Ricky Palomino, Aaron CavetteĬredits: Written and directed by Frederick Keeve A Dark Star release.Radley College is a prestigious all boys, all boarding school situated 5 miles south of Oxford and only a 45-minute train journey from London. Jason: “Lie to you I was trying to help you…” The mystery isn’t all that mysterious, the acting is borderline primitive with dialogue that suggests everybody just wants to rush through it in a monotone, with as little expression as possible. Brandon’s instant belief “Did YOU do that?” after that an earthquake that interrupts a rehearsal, Jason’s cavalier way with his “gift,” even with the violent Adam, the long LONG rehearsal sequences (with the pianist off camera) interrupted by pretty scenic shots of the Hollywood Hills and the coast. Jason’s “big secret” has something to do with all these car accident flashbacks and nightmares, the wife and kids in the car, and “the music of the spheres.”Įverything about this is just as clumsy as can be. Brandon’s getting smacked around by his raging lover (Aaron Cavette). There’s an attraction, and complications. “Whatever this big secret is, I can handle it!” And the pushy-flirty dancer Brandon ( Ricky Palomino) seems to know its existence, even as he arm-twists Jason into working nights so that Brandon can dazzle at an upcoming New York ballet audition. (Venice Beach) ballet school, a sad loner who has to be bullied into taking a goldfish a colleague at the office gives him to cheer him up. He plays Jason, the accomplished but grieving accompanist for an L.A. It won’t be long before he isn’t crying alone. Writer-director and star Frederick Keeve is introduced to us, weeping at the keyboard in the opening scene. It’s a romantic mystery that ineptly blends ballet, an abusive relationship and the supernatural, often with groan-out-loud effect. Broadly-acted, brutally boring and downright bizarre, “The Accompanist” lands like a 7-chord pounded with a sledgehammer.
