CLARE HAMMOND PIANO
Kenneth Hesketh Horae (premiere) 34’
Szymanowski Métopes, Op. 29 15’
Satie Gnossiennes, Nos 1-3 11’

Critically acclaimed young pianist Clare Hammond presents a programme inspired by Ancient Greek Mythology. Szymanowski’s Métopes chart Odysseus’s trials as he resists the Sirens, spurns the affections of the Nymph Calypso and meets Princess Nausicaa on the isle of Scherie, while Satie’s Gnossiennes evoke the Minoan Palace in Crete and the defeat of the Minotaur. Woven throughout these tableaux is a set of 12 minatures from Kenneth Hesketh – written for Clare and premiered here in their entirety – which depict the twelve goddesses of the Horae (the Hours) who personify the time between sunrise and sunset. A vivid and enchanting programme.
