Divine Fire at the 1901 Arts Club

We are delighted to announce that our acclaimed music and words production Divine Fire receives its 1901 Arts Club debut as part of our residency at London’s most stylish small venue.

Featuring some of Chopin’s loveliest piano works, Divine Fire traces the passionate and at times tempestuous relationship between Fryderyk Chopin and the authoress George Sand, from their first meeting in Paris in 1836 until their parting in 1849.

‘Divine fire’ was Sand’s own description of the intensity of her attraction to Chopin, suggesting a love that transcended the purely physical to a more spiritual plane, a meeting of bodies and minds.

The story unfolds through a compelling, dramatic narration of events by the RSC, National Theatre and TV actress Susan Porrett, interspersed with fiery Scherzos, heartrending Ballades, intimate lyrical Nocturnes and stirring Polonaises, performed by acclaimed concert pianist Viv McLean.

An absorbing, moving and beautifully presented evening of words and music

The Cross-Eyed Pianist

Tuesday 24 June at 7.30pm (doors/bar open 6.30pm)

Tickets £35
