Paxton House

End of Season Family Ceilidh

Join us for an enchanting evening of classical music at the picturesque Paxton House with "Music at Paxton: Night" on the 24th of July from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm. This unique concert is the second in a series of three, designed to showcase music that resonates with different times of the day, taking place in the stunning Picture Gallery of Paxton House.

This year's program, curated during the countless hazy hours spent awake by a new parent, explores the complex interplay of joy, love, desperation, and loneliness that comes with the arrival of new life. The highlight of the evening is Schumann's "Songs of Dawn," a piece that promises shimmering hope and glory just beyond the horizon, perfectly capturing the essence of the night turning into day.

Featuring the talented Polish-Welsh-English pianist Cordelia Williams, known for her poetic, convincing performances and deep understanding of Schubert and Schumann, the evening promises an intimate journey through music. Cordelia's remarkable interpretations and imaginative programming are sure to shed new light on well-known works and tell new stories that resonate with the audience.

The program includes:
- Scriabin's Piano Sonata No.2 in G sharp minor, Op.19
- Thomas Tomkins' "A Sad Pavan for these Distracted Times 1649"
- Bill Evans' "Peace Piece 1958"
- Robert Schumann's "Songs of Dawn" (Gesänge der Frühe), Op.133
