Clara’s Romances - Huw Watkins & Sijie Chen

  • St. Pancras Clock Tower Kings Cross London NW1 2AR (map)

An indulgently romantic programme, featuring the Romances by Clara and Robert Schumann, three evocative pieces by Huw Watkins and the sublime violin sonata in G by Brahms. The connecting strands are works dedicated to Clara by Brahms and Mendelssohn.

~ Huw Watkins (piano) & Sijie Chen (violin) ~

A truly extraordinary venue, the St. Pancras Clock Tower is a 10m high bell-chamber (with no bells!) located within the spire of St. Pancras Chambers, with spectacular views over the local Kings Cross area, the City of London and beyond. A rare chance to visit this gem in the centre of London
