Nocturnes and Night Music
Similar events
View all →About This Event
Why have we always turned to music when the world falls quiet? Susan Tomes and Michael Spitzer journey through centuries of music to trace the story of the nocturne and its place in our cultural imagination. From ancient lullabies to the nocturnes of Chopin and the ambient soundscapes of today, the night has inspired some of the most haunting and beautiful music ever written. With live music, listen to the sounds of the night brought to life, exploring how composers have captured everything from stillness and solitude to mystery and longing. This event will be chaired by Andy Rea . There will be a book signing after this event. Get ahead of your Festival reading and visit the Waterstones Cheltenham Literature Festival bookshop and support Cheltenham Festivals with every purchase.
