Lily Flynn & Charlotte Roberts: A Lineage of Women in Song

About
Join emerging soprano star Lily Flynn and pianist Charlotte Roberts for a concert celebrating the rich yet often underrepresented legacy of female composers. From the lyricism of Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn to the vivid harmonic world of Lili Boulanger and Germaine Tailleferre, this program honours the artistry of women whose voices helped shape musical history - yet have long remained in its margins. The afternoon culminates in the world premiere of Lily Flynn’s own compositions: works that speak to this lineage while carving a powerful new path of their own. Featuring Clara Schumann’s Op. 3 Romance Variée for solo piano and curated sets of art songs, this intimate and illuminating performance invites audiences to hear these composers not as footnotes, but as forces.Date
