Grainger at Home

Grainger at Home, takes you into the private and creative life of Australian composer, Percy Grainger. His wife, poet and artist Ella, shares stories of their life together and touches on more than a few simmering issues in the Grainger saga. The music, presented in this semi-staged recital, will be performed by the Clinch Saxophone Quartet and includes world premiere arrangements of Grainger’s music and as well as the lovely, though rarely heard, “Five Settings of Ella Grainger”.
