“SOUL OF WOMEN” PROJECT
The “Soul of Women” project was born from the idea of the musician, writer and journalist Maggie S. Lorelli, who conducted historical and musicological research to rediscover and perform scores from all historical eras composed by women, and who wanted to extend the project to all areas of society in the common theme of the historical difficulties encountered by women in emerging in certain typically male arts and professions. The “Soul of Women” project is aimed not only at a female audience, but at any individual able to appreciate the quality of women's work in society in all historical eras and in the current one, with a view to gender equality to be achieved first and foremost in the cultural sphere. The show is also aimed at those who simply want to enjoy the music and the interesting biography of the composers performed. The project is currently carried out by “Le Musae Ensemble”, an entirely female group founded by pianist Maggie S. Lorelli, who also carries out a similar program as a solo pianist. The repertoire performed as part of the “Soul of Women” project includes works by Cécile Chaminade, Clara Schumann, Lili and Nadia Boulanger, Mel Bonis, Fanny Mendelssohn, Fiona T. Frank, Gaby Kapps and other composers from all eras of musical history, from the Baroque to the contemporary. This will include a violin and piano piece by Fiona T Frank who will introduce the works.
Join the Albion Orchestra at St Gabriel’s, Pimlico for an evening showcasing some true gems of British symphonic repertoire.
Pianist Oliver Cuttriss opens the performance with Finzi’s Eclogue, the central movement of an unfinished piano concerto before the Albion Orchestra gives the first live performance of Ronald Corp’s Symphony No. 1.
Following this, we delve into Norwegian fairy tales and Greek comedy through Delius’ Eventyr and Vaughan Williams’ The Wasps, Aristophanic Suite.
Founded in 2023, the Albion Orchestra is a London-based orchestra made up of students from the country’s finest conservatories, and aims to promote and preserve British symphonic music. Following a successful inaugural concert, the orchestra quickly gained a reputation for versatility and quality, and looks forward to an exciting season.
