Carnival of the Animals with Zeb Soanes

  • Royal Overseas League, London Over-Seas House, Park Place London, England, SW1A 1LR United Kingdom (map)

A Friday Night Royal Overseas League ARTS Season Spectacular!

The first half begins with the production debut of pianist Joseph Havlat’s (2019 ROSL Annual Music Competition Solo Keyboard Section Final Winner) cross-collaboration performance of Francis Poulenc’s Les Animaux modèles, with Classic FM broadcaster and children’s author, Zeb Soanes as narrator and stage artworks by six contemporary artists: Matilda Barretta, Laura Bygrave, Bill Daggs, Yun Kim, Miro King and Kalman Pool.

For this special concert in the second half, after intermission refreshments, our audience will be treated to Camille Saint-Saëns’ The Carnival of the Animals, which was last performed at ROSL during the 2006 opening of Princess Alexandra Hall. To introduce each animal, Zeb Soanes as narrator will read Roger McGough's entertaining poems, specially written to accompany the music. A performance not to be missed consisting of two pianos, a string quintet, flute, clarinet and xylophone.

Rarely does an opportunity to observe the growth of a young artist and performer come along with this much ambition. Follow the journey of this project with us in the Princess Alexandra Hall this September.
