There's going to be a special concert at St Mary's, organised by Hay Music, on Thursday 19th November at 7pm.
The composers are all women.
The songs are all about women
And the performers are all women.
(really, this shouldn't be an exceptional thing in the 21st century, but it seems that somehow it still is).
This follows on from the wonderful concerts featuring the work of Clara Schumann, earlier in the year.
The concert is called Between Two Worlds, and is performed by soprano Jennifer France and pianist Lana Bode.
As well as songs by Fanny Mendelssohn and Clara Schumann, there is a modern piece by Emma-Ruth Richards, with words by poet Kate Wakeling. Both of them will be at the performance.
There are also pieces by Libby Larson, Rebecca Clarke, Kaija Saariaho and others.
Tickets are £20, with under-25s £10, available through the Hay Music website, the Tourist Information Office or on the door (if any are still available on the night). There are also a small number of free tickets for under-25s from the website.
