Programme

Andrzej Panufnik: His Quest for Peace

A chance to see an unforgettable and unique music-play about the life and work of the composer Andrzej Panufnik. Award-winning writer and actor Tama Matheson and award-winning pianist Clare Hammond deliver an emotional performance about Panufnik, one of the 20th century’s great artistic voices.

From Panufnik’s early musical awakening in war-torn Poland, to near-death encounters under Nazi occupation and oppression under Soviet rule, all culminating in a heart-stopping car chase, Matheson and Hammond perform a hilarious, heartbreaking and harrowing show about a life shaped by courage, loss and unbreakable artistic integrity.
