Fire and Ice – Presented in collaboration with Words in Walden
Narration and illustration by James Mayhew and Toto Martinez with the Saffron Walden Symphony Orchestra conducted by Richard Hull
Rimsky-Korsakov – The Snow Maiden
De Falla – Ritual Fire Dance
Stravinsky – Firebird Suite
Lyadov – Baba Yaga
Blazing sparks and snowflakes fly as James presents a symphony of stories conjuring a fabulous Firebird, ghostly fire-spirits, and the dazzling Snow Maiden.
The Orchestra plays music inspired by these dramatic folktales while James and Toto paint along, capturing all the colours of fire and ice. Their paintings will be raffled, and the profits will go to charity. James will be signing copies of his new book “A Symphony of Stories” after the show.
