Rebecca Clarke Focus Day


Listen Later

In October’s podcast episode, Dr Leah Broad, Dr Natasha Loges and mezzo-soprano Kitty Whately discuss the life and music of British composer and violist Rebecca Clarke ahead of a Focus Day at Wigmore Hall this November.  

 
One of the most important composers of her generation, Clarke created around 100 works, but only 20 of these were published in her lifetime. Leah, Natasha and Kitty introduce Clarke in the context of music-making in Britain at the start of the 20th century, discussing her life, compositions, and performance career. The trio look ahead to Saturday 8 November 2025, an exciting day of four events to celebrate the centenary of Clarke's major 1925 recital at the Hall, as well as a new recording by Kitty Whately, tenor Nicholas Phan and pianist Anna Tilbrook of Clarke’s complete songs, which will be released on 7 November 2025.
