The People's Hall: Music for Violin
About
Saturday, 11th JulyThe People’s Hall: Music for Violin
7:00pm
The People’s Hall, Heathcote Street
Darragh Morgan, violin
NCMF welcomes renowned contemporary violinist Darragh Morgan — described by The Strad as a “new music wizard” — for a special Salon‑style concert at the Grade II* listed The People’s Hall on Heathcoat Street. Back in the 18th century, Salon concerts were intimate gatherings where people heard live music up close. This concert brings that vibe into the present: part low‑fi, part hi‑fi, and all-immersive. And if you haven’t been to the People’s Hall before, you’re in for a treat, with an insider’s tour around the building before the concert begins.
You might remember Darragh from his NCMF appearance five years ago with the Fidelio Trio. A boundary-hopping musician, he’s equally at home as a soloist with orchestras, playing in chamber groups, or performing on period instruments. Now he returns with his programme 'Exploding Stars' — a set where one violin becomes an entire universe. The concert features music by Philip Glass, Georg Philipp Telemann, and more, plus a special work for violin by Errollyn Wallen, current Master of the King’s Music.
This concert includes a short tour of The People’s Hall, and the evening is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes long in total. A bar will be available for drinks, card payments only.
