Something lies beyond the scene…Jazz-age London: and when surrealist poet Edith Sitwell met William Walton, the hottest young talent in British music, the result was Façade: rap 1920s style, an outrageously entertaining, deliriously daft cocktail of words and music in which devils eat dessert, flappers become Greek goddesses and British music pours itself a gin and learns to foxtrot. Hearing is believing – and once heard, Façade is never forgotten. Jazz-influenced classics from the bright young composers of 1920s Europe and America set the scene: and then hold onto your hats, because this is going to get very silly indeed.

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.
