Artist’s Note
This programme, ‘Harmonie du Soir’, is inspired by Charles Baudelaire’s poem of the same name — a meditation on the twilight hour as a space of memory, transformation, and introspection.
The works I have chosen weave together light and darkness, nostalgia and vision, intimacy and transcendence. From Chopin’s noble Nocturne to Beethoven’s moonlit drama and Liszt’s final luminous Étude, this music moves through the emotional terrain of evening — a melancholic waltz, a lingering scent, a flicker of memory.
This concert also features two premieres: ‘Penumbra’ by John Frederick Hudson, a work of great atmospheric subtlety, and ‘A Twilight on the Equinox’ by Théophile Krosi- Douté, specially commissioned by NWIMF. These works speak to the spirit of this occasion: a celebration of creativity, introspection, and cultural dialogue.

An evening of music, food, and good vibes!
Start your night with a delicious meal before the music kicks off at 8pm. Then stick around from 8:30pm as local talent takes the stage for a relaxed plug-and-play session. Whether you’re a musician ready to jam or just in the mood for great food and live music, we’d love to have you. Anyone is welcome and we have a house guitar and piano for people to play if they’d like.
