Concert Details


Title: Songs of Innocence and Experience
Performed by: Vivace!
Time: Saturday, 7 June 2014, at 7:30pm
Place: Danny House, Hurstpierpoint
Description: Join us on Saturday 7th June for "Songs of Innocence and Experience" at one of England's greatest private stately homes.

Danny House is one of England's great country houses, nestling at the foot of the South Downs in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Its doors are usually closed to the general public, but for one night this summer you can enter this beautiful historic building for a fantastic concert in the Great Hall, all in aid of InterAct Reading Service.

Please arrive 30 minutes beforehand to enjoy the beautiful grounds of Danny House.

The house, built in its present form in 1728, has many historical links; significantly it was rented for three months for Prime Minister Lloyd George in 1918. He held regular conferences in the Great Hall (pictured,) where on 13th October they agreed the terms of the Armistice to be offered to Germany at the end of the First World War.

This important historical event is the inspiration for the concert's theme of "Innocence and Experience" marking the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of WW1.

An eclectic mix of music will be provided by the incredible Vivace! Choir and there will also be theatrical readings from professional actors which will bring the Great War to life. In the interval you can enjoy a glass of wine in the Rose Garden, and indulge in a raffle ticket or two.

100% of the money raise will go towards InterAct's work supporting people recovering from strokes at The Princess Royal and Royal Sussex Hospitals.

There is ample parking on site, unfortunately due to being a listed building Disabled access is limited. Please contact Heather Rayment for more details.

We look forward to seeing you for this one-off event on the 7th of June.
