Mists and magnolia

Clitheroe Grammar School - Sixth Form Centre
56 York St, Clitheroe BB7 2DL, UK (Google Maps)
In the deep midwinter, come with me to a brighter, warmer place. There’s gorgeous magnolia, shimmering seascapes, troubled waters, and “some of the strangest” piano music of the 20th century.
There probably won’t be snow... However, I’m sure there will be suitably bleak weather for “in the mists,” the grief-filled musical diary of Leoš Janáček
Most of the programme is more uplifting music! While thick jumpers are recommended, you might want to take them off for a quick dance with Margaret Bonds!
Enescu’s gorgeous Sonata rounds off the programme. Its enigmatic, visionary second movement was described by Noel Malcolm as “some of the strangest piano music” of the 20th century.
