1963 stage adaptation of Ken Kesey's iconic novel ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest’. Students and staff were highly impressed by what they saw.
The programme, for 2 violins, viola, cello, clarinet and piano, included three famous pieces of 20th century music: Messiaen’s Quartet for the end of time, Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 10, 2nd mvt and Penderecki’s Coda for solo viola, each accompanied by an interesting introductory talk by the performers. Despite being complex music to listen to, the performance was highly engaging and the opportunity to hear this music live was clearly valuable.
