Imaginary Landscapes – Poetry and Harp

About

Magical and mesmerising… An exquisite fusion of words and music. Imaginary Landscapes – Poetry and Harp is at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts on Tuesday 10 September at 7.30pm. Tickets are £16.

This special event features the hugely popular collaboration of a performance of words from leading poet, author and raconteur, Chris Tutton with semi improvised music by harpist Anne Denholm.

Chris Tutton is the critically acclaimed and award-winning author of eight collections of poetry. Coined by Ned Sherrin as ‘the master of the short poem’. His work has been described as ‘absolutely beautiful’ by Alexander Waugh, with BBC Scotland’s Iain Anderson noting that it was ‘philosophy in poetry form’ and the Sunday Times commenting on its ‘dramatic passion and dignity’.

Anne Denholm is one of the leading British harpists of her generation. She is Principle Harp with the BBC Concert Orchestra and served as Official Harpist to HRH The Prince of Wales from 2015 – 2019. She is an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music and a founding member of contemporary experimental quartet The Hermes Experiment. In 2021 they were awarded the Royal Philharmonic Society Young Artist Award. Anne has earned a strong reputation for her interpretations and powerful engaging performances across a variety of musical fields.
