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 – Hansel that she likely would have played with her much more famous brother; Songs of Bilitis, an imaginary woman from the ancient world created by Pierre Louys and put into song by Debussy; and one of Australia’s women of note – the redoubtable Ann Carr-Boyd, our collaborator, inspiration, go-to  person and friend, 86 years old and as prolific as ever.

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