Wonderland - Proms at St Jude's Music and Literary Festival 2015

A family-friendly, innovative musical entertainment, 'Wonderland' marks the 150th anniversary of 'Alice in Wonderland.' Scripted by Louis de Bernieres, narrated by Maureen Lipman.

Internationally in-demand musicians pianist Ashley Wass and violinist Matthew Trusler, have devised an innovative entertainment (suitable for children 8+) to mark the 150th anniversary of the publication of Alice In Wonderland.

Twelve successful composers from the fields of chamber music to film to rock, including Roxanna Panufnik, Stephen Hough and Carl Davis, have each donated a short piece for violin and piano. Scripted by Louis de Bernières, the show will be narrated by Maureen Lipman.

The Wonderland project is being performed across Europe during 2015 and 2016. Tonight's performance will be the London première. A CD of Wonderland will be released on Orchid Classics in November.

'Ashley Wass is a thoroughbred who possesses the enviable gift to turn almost anything he plays into pure gold' Gramophone Magazine.

'Matthew Trusler has been attracting the kind of praise normally reserved for a young Oistrakh' The Independent.
