Bright Star is an immersive afternoon performance where acclaimed actor John Bell and virtuoso pianist Simon Tedeschi honour the lives and works of Romantic geniuses John Keats and Franz Schubert. Bell recites beloved poems such as 'Bright Star' and 'Ode to a Nightingale,' interwoven with Tedeschi's renditions of Schubert's Impromptus op.90, Wanderer Fantasy D.760, and Sonata no.18 in G major. The event explores themes of youthful brilliance, unfulfilled love, and posthumous recognition through poetry and music. Scheduled for 23 May 2026 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Wagstaffe Hall, it concludes with free refreshments on the patio overlooking the bay. This collaboration offers a timeless tapestry of words and music for enthusiasts of poetry and classical performance.
