Celebrating Creativity in Hospitals Concert

Celebrating Creativity in Hospitals
Smith Square Hall, Sinfonia Smith Square, London, SW1P 3HA
Friday 2 May 2025, 7.30pm
A concert in aid of Horatio’s Garden

Tickets are now available for a special concert featuring the UK premiere of Tales From The 15th Floor by acclaimed composer Michael Stimpson, a piece for cello and piano reflecting his time in intensive care after contracting Guillain-Barré Syndrome. This three-movement work was inspired by Stimpson’s experience in Charing Cross Hospital when he was paralysed and lost his eyesight. The long-lasting effects of the illness played a fundamental role in his musical career and left him with a profound admiration for the NHS and a deep understanding of the benefit of Horatio’s Garden for others experiencing life-changing spinal injury and facing months in hospital.

The renowned musicians Emily Davis, Karen Stephenson, and Sophia Rahman of the Woburn Piano Trio will also present two favourite piano trios, Beethoven Opus 1 No.1 and Mendelssohn Opus 49 No.1 in D minor.

Full programme
Ludwig van Beethoven, Piano Trio No.1 in E-flat major, Op. 1, No. 1
Michael Stimpson, Tales From The Fifteenth Floor
Felix Mendelssohn, Piano Trio No.1 in D minor, Op. 49

The concert is in aid of Horatio’s Garden and there are discounted tickets available for NHS staff and volunteers.
