We always have a great time in London during our winter visits but next month really does deserve the title 'THE Feast of Performances' Join us for no less than 5 performances over 4 days in the heart of London.
We kick-off on Friday evening with a light meal before Cymbeline, Shakespeare’s late, tragic comedy of love and rebellion, in the glorious candlelit setting of a Jacobean theatre at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
On Saturday you have the choice of tickets for one of two exhibitions: The Silk Road at the British Museum or Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael Florence, c. 1504 at The Royal Academy.
Then, following a pre-theare dinner at 430pm a new stage production of Mel Brooks The Producers at the Menier Chocolate Factory OR a performance at Wigmore Hall with the outstanding baritone Benjamin Appl and world renowned Lute player Thomas Dunford in a programme including works by Schubert, Fauré, J.S. Bach, Richard Rogers & Lennon & McCartney.
On Sunday you can have the morning off or join us at Wigmore Hall for the always delightful coffee and sherry concert at 1130am when the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective take us to belle-epoque Paris with a programme of works by Ravel, Boulanger, Fauré, Saint-Saens and Reynaldo Hahn.
We then cross the Thames one more time with time for a lunchtime snack (own arrangements) before we take our keyboard side stalls seats at the Royal Festival Hall for a 3pm performance with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Vasily Petenko. Vasily is joined by Paul Lewis for a performance of Beethoven's magnificent Emperor Concerto and the orchestra complete the programme with Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. We complete our Sunday with a leisurely dinner.
Finally on Monday we check-out from the hotel and return to Wigmore Hall for the BBC Lunchtime Concert with two fine young artists - cellist Anastasia Kobekina pianist Jean-Sélim Abdelmoula performing works by Boulanger, Faure and Janáček.
Phew! We return to the northwest immediately after this concert.
