Senior professor at Royal College of Music quits over health issues after complaints of gross misconduct upheld

April 13, 2024
Mark Messenger, 59, an acclaimed violinist and conductor, resigned as Head of Strings at the Royal College of Music (RCM) during his disciplinary hearing. He had been suspended since last year following allegations about his behaviour. The college has refused to give details about the complaints. Last night Mr Messenger said: 'I decided to resign due to health issues that were a direct consequence of how the RCM had pursued this case against me. 'I had no confidence in a process that did not afford me my basic rights of being able to defend myself, nor in the outcome of a meeting that was not in possession of all the facts. 'Any implication that I resigned because of the outcome of the disciplinary process or that the college terminated my employment is entirely erroneous.'

Benjamin Britten's War Requiem was first recorded in January 1963 with the support of boys from the exclusive Highgate School's choir. Now, 60 years old, the hunt is on to locate the original choristers (top right) so they can be brought together to watch a restored version of the film. The former choir boys, who will now be in their 70s, are being called on by Decca Records, who have produced the latest version. The original recording was performed in Holborn's Kingsway Hall, which was demolished in 1998. In the first five months after its debut in May 1963, the production, which combined the traditional Latin Requiem Mass with Owen's touching terms, sold 200,000 copies. Also shown: the original master tape (inset) of War Requiem's recording at Kingsway Hall; members of the Bach Choir perform with Russian soprano Galina Vishnevskaya during the recording (bottom right).
