About this event

Death as you鈥檝e never experienced it.

The 成人论坛 Concert Orchestra and conductor Keith Lockhart shine a light into some of the murkier corners of murder and mortality, exploring death and spirituality in music from the stage and screen. This concert will be presented by Simon Callow including a reading of W. H. Auden鈥檚 poem 'Stop all the Clocks' which featured in the film 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'.

With live performances from musical theatre star Anna-Jane Casey, the evening includes the famous Carousel Waltz, Janacek鈥檚 eternal cycle of life and death in a suite from The Cunning Little Vixen, Wagner鈥檚 Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde and everything in between.

Powerful, poignant and alternative, we know you鈥檙e dying to attend.

Part of Southbank Centre's 'Belief and Beyond Belief' festival, which explores the music, art, culture, science, philosophy, ritual and traditions that have risen out of religion in its many guises.
