As part of the Nottingham Chamber Music Festival we have joined forces with them to bring classical music to a most unique venue, The Park Tunnel. The Nottingham Chamber Music festival will be having their closing concert of the season in The Park Tunnel on Sunday, July 13th.
Bringing the Festival to a grand finale is Tunnel Vision, concert in one of Nottingham’s hidden gems. Join us in the enigmatic Grade II listed Park Tunnel, built in 1855 as an entrance to the Park Estate. A string quartet from the Le Page Ensemble will perform an eclectic mix of works to evoke the mystery of the tunnel, including music by Philip Glass, J.S. Bach, and Kraftwerk.
This concert is presented in association with the Nottingham Park Residents Association. Proceeds from the concert will help go towards the NPRA’s fundraising campaign to enhance the wildlife and biodiversity of the Park Estate. A cash bar will be available on site.
The Le Page Ensemble, led by David Le Page
Born on the channel island of Guernsey, David Le Page began playing the violin at the age of seven. He was offered a place at the Yehudi Menuhin school aged twelve and has since forged a diverse career as a performer, composer, producer and arranger. He appears regularly as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestral leader and has formed his own group, the Le Page Ensemble who are performing in this year’s Nottingham Chamber Music Festival.
David is leader of the Stratford-Upon-Avon based Orchestra of the Swan. Cross-genre collaborations have included projects with Keith Tippett, Partikel, Seckou Keita, Benet McLean, Harvey Brough, Clara Sanabras, Billy Jenkins and Roger Eno. David Le Page has curated programmes for Chroma Ensemble and Opera North, the Howard Assembly Room in Leeds and at the Royal Opera House in London. He plays on a violin made in 1874 by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume.
