Mezzo Soloist, "Poppies, Peace, Power", with Gloriana Choir
Our concert celebrates the momentous events of 1918: principally the armistice, women’s suffrage and their right to become MPs, and the achievements of women, especially in music. Works by Clara Schumann, Fanny Hensel/Mendelssohn, Imogen Holst, Lili Boulanger, Judith Bingham, Elizabeth Maconchy, and brand new compositions from young women looking back 100 years.
