A group of women composers resolving the piano-versus-strings tension at the heart of the piano trio. Clara Schumann broke a path for female musicians in 19th-century Germany as much more than a wife to her composer husband. Rebecca Clarke and Charlotte Sohy composed music of new-found freedom in early 20th-century England and France. Coming up to date, Cecilia McDowall encloses a tribute to music’s perpetual revolutionary Beethoven at the heart of her magical nocturne.
Taking place during Women’s History Month, join us to explore the piano trio through the lens of four truly exceptional women composers. Includes introductions and insights from music writer Peter Quantrill.
Three’s Company is the latest instalment of ‘Harmony Beyond Music’, a series of chamber music concerts exploring themes of equality and diversity, performed by Reiko Fujisawa and friends, and presented by Peter Quantrill.
