Wonder Women
"Why hurry over beautiful things? Why not linger and enjoy them?" So pondered Clara
Schumann, remembered as one of the finest pianists of all time.
Pianist and humourist Sarah Hagen delves into the remarkable stories and piano music of forgotten female composers from the classical repertoire. This recital will highlight piano works by 18th and 19th century composers, including Clara Schumann, Cécile Chaminade, Delphine von Schauroth, and others. Included will be stunningly gorgeous music by Marianna Martines, who lived in the same circles as Haydn and Mozart, and often joined Mozart in piano duets at the musical soirées she and her sister held in their Viennese home.
NB. Afternoon Tea will be served during the interval at St Leonard's Church. Suggested donation of £5 per person.
