Lunchtime Concert - French Guise

Kate Macfarlane  soprano
Helen Ayres  violin
Thomas Marlin  cello
Glenys March  harpsichord

Works by Jean-Baptiste Lully, Henri Desmarets, André Campra, Chiara Margarita Cozzolani and Barbara Strozzi capture a musical expression of the life and times of Julie d’Aubigny, the 17th-century French sword-fighting opera singer. Today’s concert also includes the premiere of She Who Sings Strange Songs – a new song cycle by our Adjunct Lecturer in Composition, Dr Anne Cawrse.
