Those of you who were around Beeston/ Hunslet in the late days of summer last year, may have witnessed a free classical music concert happening at the roadside on Tunstall Road in our new sculpture park on ‘The Corner’.
This event was brought to you by BasementArtsProject and the Australian classical guitarist Claire Angel Bonner, who specialises in music of the 19th Century, in particular that of Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806-1856).
Clare so much enjoyed her engagement here in South Leeds that she will be returning on Wednesday 6th March. This will be the launch event for BasementArtsProject’s 2024 programme of events; the first of which will open on Monday 11th March at 5:30pm
She will be performing two concerts on this day; a FREE gig in the event space at St Luke’s Cares Charity Shop and then another at BasementArtsProject at 7:30pm that evening.
The daytime gig at St Luke’s Cares is for everyone in the community in particular those who cannot afford to pay for concert tickets. As with everything BasementArtsProject does we aim to keep access to art free as much as possible. For the evening concert we will be selling tickets at £10 per head (only 30 tickets available) all of which money raised will be in support of the artists wage and costs as she moves around the country performing this set of songs.
Programme
Kindermärchen – Johann Kaspar Mertz
Ständchen – Franz Schubert/Mertz
Fantasia su Il Barbiere di Siviglia – Giacomo Rossini/Mertz
Pianto dell’amante – Mertz
Elégie – Mertz
Gebeth – Mertz
It would be lovely if you could join us for either or both of these concerts. As with last years gig by ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ it promises to be a spellbinding event.
