Programme Note
Darkness offers us sanctuary, secrecy and an opportunity to witness the magnificence of the solar system but it can also be incredibly dangerous. Our negative experiences of the night as women often leads to us being deprived of its beauty and magic. This concert is an offer of rebellion and positivity, an artistic reclaiming of the night.
Sarah Dacey (Soprano) and Belinda Jones (Piano) perform art songs by both living and historical composers, including 5 new commissions from Kerry Andrew, Lucy Mulgan, Laura Bowler, Yshani Perinpanayagam and Freya Waley-Cohen.
This project is supported by the Hinrichsen Foundation and the Vaughan Williams Foundation. This concert is also a fundraising event for the charity Refuge.
