I've discovered some wonderful music by French women composers active during the Belle Époque – Cécile Chaminade, Mélanie Bonis, Lili Boulanger and the little-known Franco-Irish composers Augusta Holmès and Hope Temple. Such brilliant music – it easily rivals their male counterparts even though they received so little recognition. Looking forward to performing with violinist Gillian Williams and mezzo-soprano Sharon Carty. Hope to see you all there on the 24th of January at the National Concert Hall. Thanks also to Sounding the Feminists for their support.
