Jack Hancher presents a programme that ranges from the elegant and expressive works of Erik Satie and Maurice Ravel to the fiery and passionate pieces of Isaac Albeniz and Antonio José. The programme also features Sarah Frances Jenkins’ Turner-inspired work, Veiled Dawn, which contemplates the essence of transitory light, colours and atmospheres within J.M.W Turner’s paintings of Mount Rigi.
