She Wrote the Songs

Sunday 12 July 2026
18:00 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.
