A programme devised entirely of works by and dedicated to great Female Composers. Clara Weick, wife of Robert Schumann, sacrificed willingly an extraordinary career as a performer for love, not to mention her compositions for piano and chamber groups, which merit her a prominent position in the Pantheon of Romantic Composers.

The music of Milan-born American composer Alba Rosa Vietor is being rediscovered 30 years after her death while British composer Fiona Frank is cementing her position as a musician at home and abroad.
