Lives of Women

We celebrate the lives of four women – different lives, different places, different eras, but all lives lived to the fullest.

Music from the Notebook of Anna Magdelena Bach; pieces by Fanny Mendelssohn promoted by her much more famous brother; Songs of Bilitis by Claude Debussy and Pierre Louÿs, describing the life of an imaginary woman from the ancient world; and a mixed bag from one of Australia’s women of note – the ever-resourceful Diana Blom, our colleague and friend who has contributed so much to our journey.

Performers include Hester Wilson (voice), Mary Sambell (piano), Diana Weston (piano, harpsichord)
