Saturday 30th May 2026 Rêverie: The Life and Loves of Claude Debussy with Lucy Parham, piano & Alex Jennings,
narrator. “One of the must-see events on the musical calendar” BBC Music Magazine. Actor Alex Jennings (The Crown, A Very English Scandal, The Lady in the Van) narrates Lucy Parham’s portrait of composer Claude Debussy live on stage in Parbold’s Auditorium. Debussy's life is revealed in the form of a personal journal, from his initial success with the Prix de Rome in 1885 to his untimely death in 1918. A world-class pianist, Lucy Parham has earned wide critical acclaim for her series of Composer
Portraits, each one meticulously researched and scripted by herself. Her illuminating selection of accompanying music ranges from the ever-popular Clair de Lune, Rêverie and The Girl with the Flaxen Hair, to virtuosic showpieces including Jardins sous la Pluie, the Etudes and L’Isle Joyeuse.
