Nocturnes and Night Music

Why have we always turned to music when the world falls quiet? Susan Tomes and Michael Spitzer journey through centuries of music to trace the story of the nocturne and its place in our cultural imagination.

From ancient lullabies to the nocturnes of Chopin and the ambient soundscapes of today, the night has inspired some of the most haunting and beautiful music ever written.

With live music, listen to the sounds of the night brought to life, exploring how composers have captured everything from stillness and solitude to mystery and longing.

There will be a book signing after this event.
