Sunday at Four: an hour of piano, with tea after in the Vestry.

Clara Weiss pairs Schumann’s Kinderszenen with Fanny Hensel’s piano cycle Das Jahr, twelve pieces for the twelve months, written in 1841 and barely played for a century.

An hour without an interval. Tea and cake in the Vestry afterwards, included in the ticket.

Who’s playing

  • Clara Weiss piano
When do the doors open?

At 15:30, for the foyer, the bar and The Nave. Seats are unreserved unless it says otherwise.

How long is it?

It starts at 16:00 and ends at about 17:15.

Is there a bar?

The Yard bar opens with the doors and through every interval: local beer and cider, wine, soft drinks and coffee. You can take drinks into the Nave in our glasses.

Can I bring children?

Yes, to anything without an age on its page. Under-fives come free to the Sunday at Four concerts and the family mornings, sitting on a lap.

What if I arrive late?

We let latecomers in at a suitable break, to the back of the hall or the gallery. For theatre that is the interval.
