49. Rowan Hellier: wom3n
15 October 2021, 10:00pm - 11:00pm
Our first week of Song Futures recitals concludes with the work of three women composers: Judith Weir, the first female Master of the Queen’s Music; trailblazing Austrian composer Olga Neuwirth; and the exciting young composer and founder of Multi-Story Orchestra, Kate Whitley. Tonight we premiere a newly-commissioned work by Kate Whitley, setting a text by Hollie McNish, winner of the 2016 Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry.
