Charleston Farmhouse East Sussex
A programme based around the late works of Beethoven and Britten, with readings by Lampedusa, Thomas Mann, and Beckett. Beethoven’s highly thought provoking and equally enigmatic Piano Sonata Op 111, and Britten’s Third String Quartet, one of his last works and written whilst he was staying in Venice, make up this evening’s emotionally charged programme of Music and Word. |
Beethoven Piano Sonata Op 111 Benjamin Britten Third String Quartet |
The Sacconi String Quartet Myself Dame Harriet Walter has agreed to join us and to be our reader for this evening's performance. |
This programme of late works by Beethoven and Britten with readings in between the movements will not fail to move and inspire with some of the greatest music written by these two great Composers. A very special treat to have Dame Harriet Walter to be our reader for this evening's concert. A real honour! X |

I am delighted to present 3 concerts of chamber music with 3 honoured colleagues who are or have been involved at the Yehudi Menuhin School. This will promise to be a delightful 3 days of music making, something that Menuhin himself instilled in all of us when we were students there at his wonderful School. |
