- Women and Music: A Liverpool Story Retold
Archived
Join us for a day of learning that retells the history of music in Liverpool, delving into forgotten stories, lost sounds and contemporary tales.
The day begins with a performance by Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra members Equilibrium String Quartet. Equilibrium is a new ensemble with a mission to introduce works by hitherto neglected female composers and exciting new works by women of today.
You’ll then hear from expert speakers and join in on discussions as Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra cellist Hilary Browning leads a conversation with brilliant female composers, including Bethan Morgan-Williams and 2018 Christopher Brooks Prize Winner, Carmel Smickersgill.
Academics from University of Liverpool, Liverpool Hope University and Open University will also share their research - Dr Laura Hamer discusses Mrs Wilf Hamer and her Boys, one of the most popular dance bands in Liverpool in the late 1950s and Dr Annika Forkert dives into Elisabeth Lutyens's unusual piece ‘Encomion,’ a piece that details the history of the crypt of the Metropolitan Cathedral and reveals a glimpse of lost avant-garde music practices in Liverpool and composer on the warpath.
The day will wrap up with a panel of women working in music in Liverpool today with the discussion chaired by Professor Catherine Tackley, from University of Liverpool, discussing their contribution to Liverpool's vibrant cultural scene.
As a further part of Women and Music: A Liverpool story retold, University of Liverpool and Royal Philharmonic Society will be hosting a one-day conducting workshops for women on Sunday 17th March 2019. Full details of the workshop can be found here.
