Tchaikovsky by Heart

An invitation to hear Tchaikovsky afresh.

We’re ditching the music, storing the iPads, and committing one of Tchaikovsky’s best-loved pieces to memory for these unique performances.

More than just an impressive feat of memory, we want to see how this move effects your experience of this searing, heartfelt piece of music.

Will this aid communication between players? Between players and audience? Will it enable even those who know the piece inside out to experience it in a new way? There is only one way to find out - by being there.

The richness of the Tchaikovsky is complimented by Elgar’s passionate 'Introduction and Allegro' and Caroline Shaw’s 'Punctum', full of clean zesty melody, acting as an aural refresher between.
