Are you regular concert goer looking for something a bit different? Do you like classical music – but find concerts a bit of a stretch?
Wish there was more ‘action’? Less formality? Shorter sets?
If so, you should try one of our ‘Music-in-Motion’ performances!
It’s a completely new kind of concert where we put on a real show! The musicians are all around you, moving as they play. There are no music stands or chairs – just passionate, expressive musicians using the space and their bodies to convey the drama and emotion of the music.
You can take in your drinks, lounge on a cushion or move around between pieces, and there’s plenty of intervals where you can chat with your friends.
And there’s a touch of the macabre in the programme to mark the coming Halloween season. Between the exuberance of Bach’s 3rd Brandenburg Concerto and the élan of Elgar’s Introduction and Allegro, there’s a murder in Janacek’s Kreutzer Sonata, a coffin in Vivaldi’s Santo Sepolcro, heartache in Purcell’s Chacony and solace in Arvo Pärt’s Fratres. And for our Tuesday ‘Halloween’ concert, a special ‘Halloween Cocktail’ available at the bar.
Audience reaction to Music-in-Motion:
“I was totally riveted. I felt more involved, ‘inside’ the music. The body-language and facial expressions helped express the music – quite terrifying at times! It felt organic, alive, more resonant and with more depth and emotion.”
….and the critics:
Planet Hugill: “The players’ positions and gestures responded to the drama and musical argument. The result was extremely vivid and engaging, creating a real sense of dramatic involvement in the piece.”
British Theatre Guide: “A performance element helps to focus concentration in a way that is often lacking in conventional concerts. As the performers move within the performance space, the effect of the different relationships adds extra feeling and strengthens the impact.”
Tickets also available for further performances on Saturday 28 October 3.30pm – 5.30pm and Saturday 28 October 7.30pm – 9.30pm.
