- Ends 9.30pm

Drawn largely from his prolific and colourful letters and interspersed with some of his most ecstatic and expressive piano music, Odyssey of Love is a portrait of Franz Liszt's relationship with the three most important women in his life: the aristocratic freethinking rebel and mother of his three children, Marie d'Agoult; the bizarre cigar-smoking intellectual Carolyne von Sayn Wittgenstein, whom he wanted to be his wife; and his long-suffering mother, Anna.
Acknowledged as one of Britain's finest pianists, Lucy Parham will be performing works by Liszt alongside two popular actors, Joanna David and Martin Jarvis (subject to availability).
