Overview
A programme of music by women composers of African descent with acclaimed Jamaica-born pianist, composer and writer and poet Maria Thompson Corley who has spent her career promoting Black women composers both in concert and on record. She will be joined by the soprano Nadine Benjamin, praised by The Spectator for the 'controlled brilliance' of her phrasing and her voice's 'tingling halo of sound'.
