I am very excited about my concert on 20th March celebrating immigrants and refugees, part of my series called “Women, as composers, as poets, and as visionaries and pioneers who changed the world”. Join me, Katy Thomson,
@siandicker ,
@lilymomezzo and actress Rekha John-Cheriyan as we tell the stories of women immigrants and refugees who have given and continue to give so much to Britain. Their stories are illustrated with songs, all settings of poems written by women, by composers including Rachmaninov, Elgar, Wagner, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor,
@raymondyiucomposer ,
@shirleyjthompsoncomposer and many more. Tickets, from just £5 for students, available from /women-immigrants-and-refugees-in-britain-20th-march. Join us if, like me, you love beautiful music and beautiful poetry and if, like me, you hate racism and you hate the anti-immigrant rhetoric that seems to be increasing across the world. 7pm, 20th March, Hinde Street church in central London. #classicalmusic #operasingersofinstagram #supportimmigrants
