David Owen Norris

Pianist and broadcaster David Owen Norris leads The Jupiter Ensemble in an evening exploration of two major figures of music and literature in their 250th anniversary years.

Interspersing music with readings by Zeb Soanes, the evening features revolutionary poetry from a man who was there, in Paris, in 1789, and revolutionary music from a composer who wished he had been. Hear how these two disappointed revolutionaries, both born in 1770, illuminate each other through their art.
