The audience will also be entertained cinematic live music, composed by The Lost Estate’s Composer in Residence, Steffan Rees and performed by three outstanding classical musicians, three exceptional classical musicians; Guy Button on violinBeth Higham-Edwards on percussion, and Kieran Carteron on cello. Together, the performers and musicians immerse audiences fully in Dickens’ world, capturing the textures, tones and spirit of the Victorian era and giving the entire experience a richly atmospheric, deeply moving quality.
