Friday 12th July, Friday 2nd August and Friday 20th September
Peter Sheppard Skærved – Violin
Bach – Sonatas and Partitas, complete! Works by living composers inspired by seascapes, sculptures gardens and the weather. Labyrinths, walks and dances by composers from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Acclaimed violinist Peter Sheppard Skærved presents three events inspired by the landscape, art, and nature of Tremenheere. Bach’s epochal cycle of works for violin alone provide the armature for this musical exploration of one of this space. And they are set in conversation with works for the baroque and music of our time, by some of the leading composers of our time, from Europe, the USA and Australia, all long-time collaborators with Peter.
Each concert will take place on the upper floor of Tremenheere Gallery – beginning at 7pm, with doors open from 6.30pm. Each concert will be proceeded by a shorter performance in the Skyspace at 4.30pm – entry to the gardens from 4pm included in ticket purchase. Tickets are £20 for each event, or there is the option to purchase tickets for all three events for £50. Full details of each event and how to book tickets are below.
