Charleston Farmhouse, East Sussex

As part of our series Music and Word at Charleston we are delighted to present the latest in the series at Charleston Farmhouse in the beautifully restored Hay Barn. Even more wonderful is that Dame Sheila Hancock is joining me in presenting this evening’s event. I can’t wait, but a lot of practising to do!!

The programme will be like our previous evenings with readings intertwined with music. Readings will include works by Thomas Mann, Stefan Zweig. Schindler and of course Virginia Woolf. Music by Mahler, Alma Mahler, and Berg.

Myself
This evening's theme if one can call it that is based around the Second Viennese School and the late Romantics and literature which were written at that time. Passion, Angst, Love, Despair. Vienna fin-de-siecle.... Perfect for a dark Winter's evening!!

This is probably the first time this entire project is realised and will be fascinating for audiences and performers alike.
A lot of new learning!!!
