“Composers who are female are not rare. They are just too rarely performed, even today.”
—Jessica Duchen
The Gaudete Singers return to Saint Bartholomew’s for their spring concert, Assisted by Angels: Women Composers from Bingen to Bingham. This performance will showcase a millennium’s worth of women whose musical works are all too often overlooked, from the 12th century scores of Hildegard von Bingen to the pieces debuted by English composer Judith Bingham in recent years. Other artists in the programme include Caterina Assandra, Clara Schumann, Amy Beach, Susan Spain-Dunk, Imogen Holst, Betty Roe, and Judith Weir. Tickets are €20 (€15 concession; €5 students) and will be available at the door.
