Three Little Mammoths - narrated by Eoin McLaughlin

MORE INFO & TICKETS

"Once upon a time, at the very beginning of time, there was a big BANG! Then, there were stars [Do stars make a sound?]. Around the stars spun planets. And one of the planets was called ‘Earth’. Don’t believe me? You’re sitting on it right now. And if you’re not sitting, then sit down immediately, because the story is about to begin.

This is the story of the Three Little Mammoths."

Three Little Mammoths is a interactive spoken-word play for children of primary-school age featuring live music by The Marsyas Trio and narration by Eoin McLaughlin, author of the original text, well-known for his best-selling children's book, 'The Hug'.

Exploring themes of kindness, generosity and tolerance, the story centres around the migration of the main characters to far-off lands, where everything is different from their home.

With a musical score by award-winning composer Robin Haigh, the play is also designed to be an exciting first experience of chamber music with music for flute/piccolo, 'cello and piano. The hour-long performance will include interactive introductions to these musical instruments and an audience sing-along!

With thanks to Arts Council England and the Fidelio Charitable Trust.

Upstream - A celebration in music of Hilary Tann (1947-2023)

The Marsyas Trio present a recital honouring Welsh composer Hilary Tann’s music, and her love of nature. Described as shimmering and weightless, effective and moving ... it reinforces the grounded spiritual ecstasy that is Tann’s distinctive musical outlook (J. Dalton, Albany Times Union, 5/24/20), Tann’s music is a reflection of the humanity behind it - one that will be sorely missed. The Trio pair Tann’s Gardens of Anna Maria Luisa de ‘Medici with other pieces whose inspiration wells from nature. From nearly a century ago, “Scenes of the Forest” by the French composer Bonis, and “Ashes'' by Norwegian composer Saariaho. Churchill College's Artist By-Fellow Helen Vidovich will present the premiere of Dr Ewan Campbell’s work for solo flute and electronics Rivertime Sketch.

Programme:

Melanie Bonis (1858-1937): Scènes de la forêt, Op. 123 (1928) for flute, cello, piano, arr. Roseanna Dunn

Hilary Tann (1947-2023): Gardens of Anna Maria Luisa de ‘Medici (2004)

Ewan Campbell (b. 1983): River Time Sketch, for solo alto flute and pre-recorded alto flutes (premiere)

Thea Musgrave (b.1928): Canta, canta! for alto flute, cello and piano 4’
