known, but no less exquisite French works. The programme includes work by Gabriel Fauré, along with an opportunity to hear the rarely performed orchestral songs of Henri Duparc.
The second half of the programme is dedicated to 19th century composer, pianist, teacher and pioneer of pay equality, Louise Farrenc. Easily the equal of her contemporaries, Schumann and Mendelssohn, Farrenc's work has been unfairly overlooked. This is a rare opportunity to hear a live performance of her third symphony: a substantial work, dramatic yet lyrical and with an energy of spirit that merits her position be restored amongst the great composers of her generation.
- Gabriel Faure - Masques et Bergamasques Op.112
- Henri Duparc - Songs with Orchestra
- Louise Farrenc - Symphony No. 3
