NICHOLAS PARSONS is to narrate the London Premiere of Nathaniel Stookey's The Composer Is Dead with text by Lemony Snicket - a diabolically fun-filled Family Concert at Southbank Centre 's Royal Festival Hall on Saturday 16 April at 1200hrs - part of the 11-day Festival of the Menuhin Competition London 2016.
