Hide AdIn 2015, to mark the 150th anniversary of the publication of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, thirteen of the world’s leading composers were commissioned to create a special piece of music based on each of the 12 chapters and the preface of the much-loved children’s book.
Performed in order, the narrative will be developed through music with violinist Matthew Trussler and pianist Ashley Wass and also through words, spoken by renowned television and film actor Robert Powell.
Appealing to all age groups, Wonderland is a reflection of the enduring popularity of this wonderful book.
Robert Powell is one of Britain’s most well-known actors.
He has been seen in a host of classic film and television dramas, including The 39 Steps, Jesus of Nazareth, The Detectives and most recently Holby City.
