Programme Details

When the Academy opened its doors in 1823, it was ‘for the maintenance and general instruction in music of a certain number of pupils’, including women.

Based on a forthcoming book by Briony Cox-Williams, this lecture-recital looks at students across the century who demonstrated the skill necessary for a musical career, while negotiating the social parameters of being a female musician. Biographies, contemporary sources and accounts from the women will be enhanced by presentations of their music and other repertoire with which they were associated.
