Start time: 18:00 Join us for an evening of music and poetry in a collaboration with South Downs Poetry Festival. The event will begin with a performance from pianist Elena Toponogova and Soprano Eleanor Penfold exploring early to mid-20th century lyricism, where music becomes a form of ‘landscape painting’ in sound. The programme traces a journey from the lyrical, poetic stillness of Roger Quilter and Thomas Dunhill, through the vivid, pictorial settings of Michael Head, to the more complex, shifting harmonic landscapes of Frank Bridge and John Ireland. After a short interval, regroup for a poetry promenade curated by the South Downs Poetry Festival and led by Barry Smith. Distinguished prizewinning poets including Stephanie Norgate, Naomi Foyle and poet-musician Chris Hardy will present new works inspired by the British Landscapes: A Sense of Place exhibition and the wider landscape. The audience will be treated with pictures in words and sounds to complement and enhance the visual representations.
