Sunrise to Starlight - The National Gallery

🌅 Join us for an enchanting concert featuring Harriet Mackenzie and Huw Watkins MBE amidst the masterpieces of the National Gallery! Experience a unique musical reflection on the day’s cycle, from the first light of dawn to the tranquil nightfall, all tied to the new exhibition by Edwin Austin Abbey: By the Dawn’s Early Light.

🎶 The program will feature exquisite pieces for violin and piano, showcasing:

• Edward Elgar – "Chanson de Matin"
• Lili Boulanger – D’un matin de printemps
• Amy Beach – "Romance"
• Ralph Vaughan Williams – "The Lark Ascending"
• Claude Debussy – "Clair de Lune"
• Lili Boulanger – "Nocturne"

In the spirit of Abbey’s roots in Gloucestershire and Philadelphia, this collection draws on themes of nature, mythology, and the cosmos, echoing his connection with Shakespeare, a significant influence on his artistic journey.

✨ Curated by Harriet Mackenzie and in partnership with Music in Action, a Jersey charity dedicated to harnessing music's transformative power, this event is not to be missed!
