Julia Beisswanger, Catherine Arlidge, Myriam Guillaume and Jacqueline Tyler from the internationally acclaimed City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra join forces with local actors from LADS (the Theatre’s resident company) to bring you an inspiring afternoon of music and poetry.  The movements of Franz Joseph Haydn’s witty and ingenious quartet in G op. 33 no. 5 and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s dramatic quartet in D minor K421 will be interspersed with poetry, reflecting the music itself.

Tom Henderson (piano) accompanies Lorna James (soprano) to present a concert of British and American song and opera.  Featuring composers from Elgar to Bernstein, the programme includes Four Cabaret Songs by Benjamin Britten, a new song cycle of Elizabeth Barrett Browning sonnets, and a complete performance of Copland’s Twelve Poems of Emily Dickinson.  Household favourites If music be the food of love (Purcell) and Summertime (Gershwin) complete an evening of some of the best vocal music from both sides of the pond.

Flora Thompson was born in an Oxfordshire hamlet in 1876.  She is best remembered for her semi-autobiographical trilogy which evokes, through childhood memories, a vanished world of agricultural customs and rural culture in England in the 1880s.  In this Keith Dewhust adaptation, which is accompanied by a live musical score, Thompson appears in the play as Laura Timmins as we follow the inhabitants of Lark Rise from sunrise to sunset on the first day of harvest.  A moving and often very funny study of Victorian rural life.


The Foyer and Bar will be open 45 minutes before each performance.
