She Wrote the Songs

Sunday 12 July 2026
19:00 to 20:00

The Cordial Consort will perform music by female composers from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries using Romantic-era instruments. We will play in a delightful church in Hampstead - just a short walk up the hill from the underground station [and on several bus routes] - with a very clear acoustic. Please support our repeat of this concert which was originally conceived to celebrate International Women's Day. There is ramp access for wheelchairs.

 

You can buy tickets HERE. The programme is as follows:
