In 1960, at the height of his fame, singer, songwriter, and satirist Tom Lehrer gave it all up. He spent the rest of his career as an obscure maths lecturer. This show investigates the strange disappearance of Tom Lehrer – and includes some of his greatest songs, like Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, and The Elements.

Join us for a special evening as Pride and Prejudice is brought to life through words and music by Leora Cohen on violin, Paul Wingfield on piano and narrator Penelope Rawlins.
The American-born Jewish conductor and composer Carl Davis, wrote the music for dozens of films and more than one hundred TV programmes. His score for Pride and Prejudice is particularly memorable – Davis captured the novel’s most salient themes and values through evocative quotations from and subtle allusions to resonant works by major composers contemporary with Jane Austen’s work. Davis was subsequently commissioned to produce an abbreviated version of his score, for violin and piano, with a spoken narration, written by Gill Hornby. The resulting compact and highly effective musical entertainment vividly recreates the popular nineteenth century musical genre of melodrama. This concert is a tribute to Carl Davis, who died on August 3 2023.
