A celebration of the new season in music and words, performed in the lovely church of St Nicholas, Peper Harow.
Inspired by our Christmas Celebration, we invite you now to forget all the dreariness of winter with a springtime concert to lift the spirits! Staged in the week of Shakespeares' birthday, Lucy and friends present a joyous blend of music and words, relishing springtime and heralding summer. The programme will feature music by Mendelssohn and Schumann with words from Shakespeare and other surprises yet to be announced!
Our Spring Matinee will begin at 3pm and last for about 75 minutes with no interval. Following the concert, you are welcome to join us for a light springtime tea, included in the price of your ticket. Tickets are now available on line and through the Village Shop in Shackleford. They're selling fast - don't leave it too late!
The lovely church of St Nicholas Peper Harow is exquisite but very tiny. We have a capacity of just 90 for this concert, well over half of which have already sold. Please don't leave it too late to book - all our other concerts have sold out!
We use the reputable system Eventbrite for our online sales. We allocate 60 of our possible 90 tickets to this. You can show us your ticket on your phone at the concert or print it off. All seats are unreserved
We understand many people prefer to book in person rather than online. Shackleford Stores has an allocation of 30 tickets currently available for sale for this concert but they are selling fast!
Daughter of Shackleford and internationally acclaimed pianist, Lucy returns home to lead a concert of springtime delights both well known and less discovered in words and music, this time in our 'home' church of St Mary's Shackleford where there is more space for all to enjoy Lucy's performances.
From War and Peace to Rebecca, Death in Paradise to Gogglebox, Joanna is known and loved by audiences everywhere for her wonderful character interpretation, from the serenity of Shakespearer to the humour of Noel Coward. She delighted our audiences at Christmas and we're thrilled to welcome her back!
Widely acclaimed as one of the finest composers, arrangers and pianists in the country we are delighted to welcome Richard to Shackleford Concerts, both to perform solo and to share a piano stool with Lucy in piano duets which created such a hit in our Christmas concert. Expect joy and not a few surprises!
From the much loved Ash in BBC Drama 'Hustle' to prominence in the acclaimed 'Spooks' and more recently 'Sherwood' Robert Glenister is a familiar television face with an outstanding live theatre career. He has performed with Lucy many times and we are delighted to welcome him to Shackleford Concerts.
We are delighted that acclaimed English tenor Daniel Norman can join us to perform in a Spring Matinee. From performances with ENO to appearances on concert platforms across the UK and beyond, Dan's abilitiy to communicate through song has been recognised by critics and audiences alike.
Please note that in a change to some early publicity, this concert will take place in St Nicholas Church Peper Harow and not in St Mary's Shackleford. We very much hope to return to St Mary's for a Composer Portrait Concert in October, and remain very grateful indeed to everyone at Peper Harow for enabling us to stage our Spring Matinee in this beautiful church.
We are currently working on the programme for this concert and will post more details shortly, but you can be assured of wonderful piano music by Richard and Lucy (both separately and together) ranging from Mendelssohn to Percy Grainger with maybe a little Faure and Debussy as well. Shakespeare will feature, and likely other great wordsmiths including Noel Coward, PG Wodehouse and Evelyn Waugh. There is so much to be celebrated about Spring in England and we plan to reflect this in our concert.
Our Christmas Concert sold out very quickly and we were lucky enough to be able to add a second performance to accommodate everyone. Please note there will only be ONE PERFORMANCE of our Spring Matinee, starting at 3pm, so please be sure to book early!
We divide all the available tickets for this concert between online sales, through this website, and in person sales through the Village Shop in Shackleford. All seats at the concert are unreserved. Doors will open at 2.15pm and refreshments will be served after the concert.
