This portrait makes a moving introduction to his music which features in several of this year’s concerts.
In a thrilling new concert-drama, alive with many musical extracts, The Wandering Tower tells the story of one of classical music’s greatest storytellers, Sergei Prokofiev, who found fame and success in America. He returned to Russia in the mid-30s as a cultural hero to find an increasingly restrictive regime in the Soviet Union.
Twice short-listed for the prestigious RPS ‘Story-telling Award’, Tama Matheson has attracted glowing reviews:
“Riveting and convincing …” [Performing Arts Hub]
“Illuminating, fascinating, a night to treasure” [Weekend Notes]
“An incredible evening of music and drama, beauty and emotion” [The Brisbane Theatre Review]
