An evening by the Thames, winding moving, thought-provoking extracts of literature through a programme inspired by water and the natural world. Music from Schubert, Sibelius, Mozart and Sally Beamish pairs with texts from both traditional and contemporary voices: Fenella Humphreys’ quartet, Perpetuo, partners with Alex Jennings (The Crown, The Lady in the Van) to mirror a river’s journey from ‘source to sea’ in this stunningly-curated programme.
