Description
Join us for an eclectic late night programme themed around nocturnes and games, and which offers intimate and atmospheric chamber works spanning two centuries. We have included Sally Beamish’s three pieces for Solo Cello which will be performed by three individual cellists positioned around the church, a selection from Gyi:irgy Kurtag’s lifelong project Jatekok (games) in his 100th birthday year, and Robert Schumann’s haunting Ghost Variations. This was Schumann’s last work, written in the weeks before he was committed to an asylum and he famously believed its theme the same as that of the slow movement of his violin concerto was delivered to him overnight in a vision by the ghost of Mendelssohn or Schubert.
