SUNDAY 1ST MAY
6.30pm
Shipley Church RH13 8PH
‘An Audience with Hilaire Belloc in Words,
Song and Music’.
The programme will include Shipley 2016 commission
‘Goodwood by the Sea,’ past Shipley Arts
commission Cecilia McDowall’s ‘Great Hills,’
J.S.Bach Brandenburgh Concerto no.4, Stephanie
Cant’s ‘Wedding Songs’ performed by the
composer, and Belloc’s poems and readings
recited by actor David Stephens in a theatrical
interpretation directed by Ann Feloy.
The price is £18 but there are a limited number of discounted tickets. I may, also, be able to give a few people a lift from London. Please e-mail me to find out more:
''I have chosen poems and
songs that reflect the diverse character of Belloc and his passions - from his
love of the Sussex countryside and the sea to his witty verses and humorous
'folk' songs and his deep spirituality.
I collaborated with Andrew Bernardi, who himself is a virtuoso violinist and
will be playing his Stradivarius during the evening, when choosing the musical
pieces we felt reflected Belloc - Vaughan William, Elgar etc.
We hope we have crafted a magical and unforgettable evening that will summon the
spirit of Belloc.''
