Applaud! Women in Music 

Saturday 1 May 7:30 pm

DAVID BURCHELL, conductor

City Choir Dunedin celebrates the contribution to music made by women, sometimes under very difficult circumstances. The programme includes Benjamin Britten’s Hymn to St Cecilia, the patron saint of music. Works by women composers range from the Romantic era – Marianna Martines and Fanny Mendelssohn – to contemporary songs by Rosaphayne Powell and New Zealand’s own Felicia Edgecombe. Mrs Edgecombe’s song cycle Shaky Places was first performed in 2015, to wide appeal.
