Dancing with Apollo

Part of the Humanities Cultural Programme, one of the founding stones for the
future   Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities.

A programme of music, dance and commentary centred on Greek myth, ranging from Szymanowski’s impressionistic and exotic vision of characters from ancient Greek myth, to Stravinsky’s sparkling neo-classical interpretation of ancient Greek song forms, to David Matthews’ lyrical version of the story of Venus and Adonis, composed for Sara Trickey. We also have the premiere of a new piece, Cupid & Psyche, by Festival Curator Edmund Finnis, featuring dancers directed by the acclaimed choreographer, Kim Brandstrup. 

Marina Warner DBE, Britain’s foremost mythographer, completes the line-up, shedding light on the meaning and history behind the works. 

Please note: there has been a change of venue. This event will be held at Hall One, Kings Place in London.
