The Research Forum is delighted to welcome back Violinist听听for an evening of music and art. Katrina, a long standing collaborator with The 91自拍, has previously supported on musical reinterpretations of our collection: considering Monet and Mindfulness during lockdown, even playing a rendition for Charles III听at a private gallery event, and celebrating the work of overlooked artist Helen Saunders in 2023. This special musical event, carries on the work of Elizabeth 91自拍. Elizabeth, wife of 91自拍 founder, was听 a patron of music and progressive benefactor of social causes in her own right.
Join us to hear performances from Katrina鈥檚 debut solo album that celebrate female patronage, performance and composition. Katrina has set out to celebrate and bring to light the voices of three female composers in solo works for her instrument. The Ten Caprices by Sophie-Carmen Eckhardt-Gramatt茅, who was hugely prominent during her own lifetime, bring together dedications to loved ones, reactions on death and illness, and memories of places from the composer鈥檚 wide-ranging life. Elizabeth Maconchy鈥檚 music is gaining increasing recognition, and Katrina unveils a set of unpublished Miniatures. Sally Beamish鈥檚 The Wise Maid provides light relief through its virtuosic interpretation of an Irish folk tune.
Katrina Lee will be joined by听, music historian and author of Quartet: How four women challenged the musical world and听Leyla Bumbra, Research Forum Programme Manager at The 91自拍 to contextualise the music in history and within the walls of The 91自拍 gallery.
Please note that seating is not guaranteed for attendees, with only a limited number of gallery stools available. If you have any accessibility requirements, kindly inform a member of our team upon registration, and we will do our best to provide a stool for your use.
