LISTEN UP

Dark Side of the Moon is a timeless classic, exploring the passage of time and our inability to control it. Money, greed, conflict, depression, the feeling of isolation from reality. Seven-piece Run Like Hell pay tribute to this masterpiece, meticulously recreating it from start to finish. They take you on a journey back in time to when you first heard it: marvelling at the sonic experimentation, visceral feelings evoked by the lyrics, comforted by the lush melodies and exceptional production. Lovingly holding the iconic album cover in your hands. After leaving you spellbound, Run Like Hell return to the stage with an encore of essential classics such as Echoes, Comfortably Numb and Another Brick in the Wall. Complete with visceral animations, lighting, sassy sax and exceptional backing vocals, Run Like Hell are a Floydian experience not to be missed.

Composer and pianist Dmitri Shostakovich lived under the constant threat and reality of authoritarian regimes - keeping a packed suitcase under the stairs in case he got a knock on the door in the middle of the night. His music was subversive, characterised by sharp contrasts, elements of the grotesque and ambivalent tonality. On the other side was his quirky humour, making him a man of great contrasts. Experience both sides of his genius in this brilliant program performed by Orpheus Trio, with special guest artists Merlyn Quaife (soprano), Markiyan Melnychenko (violin) and Simon Oswell (viola). Program: Piano Trio No. 1 in C minor, Op.8; Seven Romances on Poems of Alexander Blok Op. 127; and Piano Quintet in G minor, Op.57.
