'The Empty Chair' – Spitalfields Music Winter Festival at the Brady Arts Centre, December 2016.

The Empty Chair

The Empty Chair is a mischievous musical adventure that explores the ways in which people and friendships grow and change. 

When out of nowhere a mysterious empty chair appears bang in the middle of a house, its inhabitants are beyond bewildered. Why does it bring a strange, sizzling silence? Who is the tip-toeing creature full of songs and secrets that longs to help? And what on earth is a BLACK HOLE doing at the front door?

The Empty Chair unfolds through playful storytelling and irresistible music for voice, cello and piano, drawn from across the ages to include works by Debussy, Couperin, Berio and Moondog, alongside new music by TROUPE

Suitable for ages 6 and above.

The Empty Chair was created with the generous support of  Spitalfields Music; Snape Maltings; Cooper Hall Foundation and Arts Council England
