The Nightingale Project, the project that brings art and music to our mental health wards, has organised an exciting concert to raise money to improve our ward environments through art. Proceeds from this particular concert will be used to brighten Park Royal Mental Health Centre.
The concert is taking place at the Southbank Centre’s Purcell Room, and features the Tippett Quartet, one of the UK’s most exciting young string quartets, and the Korean-Spanish pianist Soojung Lim.
The Tippetts will be playing Beethoven’s 1st Quartet and Korngold’s 3rd (which includes some of Korngold’s favourite melodies from his film scores) –and in the second half Soojung Lim will perform with them in the string quintet version of Chopin’s 2nd Piano Concerto. (Together with Stephen Williams, lead double bass of the Britten Sinfonia and English Chamber Orchestra). Indeed this will be the British premiere of the newly edited and published score of this piece, and is being played almost exactly 200 years after Chopin’s birth.
Full details are available at www.nightingaleproject.org. Tickets are £10 or £15 and are available now through the Southbank Centre’s website.
