3pm, Sunday 18 February 2018 - Coffee Concert
The Book of Ebenezer Le Page
The Methodist Church, Northampton Road, Market Harborough, LE16 9HE
David Le Page launches his new album featuring his own works for violin and piano inspired by G.B. Edwards’ fictionalised autobiography of an archetypal Guernseyman, Ebenezer Le Page. William Golding said of the book: “To read it is not like reading but living”. David, who was born on the island of Guernsey, performs with pianist Viv Mclean. “Otherworldly” (Le Monde). The music will be interspersed with readings from the novel.
“The finesse and fieriness of his playing is always top-notch, but more than that, his unique sense of creativity infuses everything he does. His own music has a string personal voice, full of improvisatory flair and independence of thought, and... seems driven by a deeply poetic spirit.”

A Hum About Mine Ears
The Congregational Church, High Street, Market Harborough, LE16 7JD
Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ is set in new surroundings in this exciting new ‘folk-opera’ by Clara Sanabras. Taking themes from the Shakespeare play she weaves a magical thread in and around the original story, reimagining the famous characters and twists of the plot. Drawing on elements from blues and jazz to European folk, this is one of Shakespeare’s most famous works unravelled in a performance as deep, mysterious and expansive as The Tempest itself.
Clara Sanabras (voice and guitar), David Le Page & Catherine Leech (violins), Rose Redgrave (viola),
Nick Stringfellow (cello), Elena Hull (bass), Harvey Brough (conductor), Vox Holloway Chamber Choir
