A concert to mark the culmination of a collaborative research project between Academy singers, composers and researchers, with colleagues from University College London. Exploring diverse ‘translations’ of women’s voices and experiences, it juxtaposes new songs by composition students with extracts from song cycles by Lili Boulanger, Claire Delbos and Gabriel Fauré.
