Concert Information

In Radio 3’s latest commission, each of the seven composers gives their individual take on where they are in their lives - right now as a woman in 2020 - and the resulting piece of music as a whole will take listeners on a journey through time of mind, body and soul. During the concert the composers will discuss their inspiration and the creative process for this project with presenter Fiona Talkington. Grace Rossiter conducts the Â鶹Éç Singers.
