A hauntingly enchanting evening of spine-tingling harp music…
Single ticket £19.50
An eerie autumnal evening of dramatic harp music in our Great Roundhouse.
Join us for an unforgettable eve on the dawn of Halloween, filled to the brim with hauntingly beautiful music as the golden leaves fall and shadows stretch across the ancient grounds of Butser Ancient Farm.
Award-winning harpist Keziah Thomas presents a solo pedal harp concert steeped in autumnal mystery, featuring spine-tingling works such as Saint-Saëns’ Danse Macabre, Bach’s dramatic Toccata and Fugue, Mussorgsky’s Night on a Bare Mountain, and the rich colours of Vivaldi’s Autumn from The Four Seasons. Let Keziah transport you through a twilight landscape where classical music meets the supernatural.
Acclaimed by the New York Concert Review as ‘Stupendous…totally original and engaging’, at her Carnegie Hall debut recital, British harpist Keziah Thomas enjoys a reputation of a lively and engaging performer and educator. At the heart of her work is the belief that the power of music is for everyone, a value which drives a diverse freelance career.
“Scrupulous attention to the harp’s rhythmic and dynamic possibilites.” — The Times
