St George’s Anglican Church, 41 Baroda St., Travancore
The late 19th century and early 20th century was a time not only of political and economic upheaval and strife, but also of enormous experimentation and innovation in music, literature, visual and performing arts. While we do not expect A Garden of Earthly Delights to generate the riots that greeted the 1913 premiere of the Stravinsky-Nijinsky collaboration on The Rite of Spring, we guarantee surprises and challenges as well as delights. Whether you are being stung and poisoned by Britten’s Marsh Flowers, exalted by the neoclassicism of Standford’s Beati Quorum Via, chilled by the hail and ice of Debussy’s Hiver (Winter,) amused by the amorous adventures of folk heroes Mirko and John the broomcutter, or soothed by lullabies, we can guarantee as much variety as you would find in a programme spanning centuries rather than decades, followed by culinary delights served in the airy church hall.
