Period musicians from the Royal College of Music and the Royal Irish Academy of Music collaborate in exquisite chamber works by two significant French female composers of the Baroque and Romantic eras.
Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre was a prodigy: an outstanding singer and harpsichordist admired for her vocal compositions. Elegant and emotive, Judith comes from her first published collection of cantatas inspired by Old Testament heroines.
Augusta Holmès had to fight for her right to become a musician. We hear a selection of her richly romantic piano and vocal works in a concert that celebrates two remarkable composers deserving of a wider audience.
