This Woman’s Work: a Concert by Papagena
The UK’s flagship female voice ensemble Papagena presents an uplifting programme celebrating the lives, loves and works of women with music sacred and profane, tender, witty and urbane. Ranging from medieval and renaissance works by Hildegard of Bingen and Leonora d’Este to contemporary pieces by Caroline Shaw and James MacMillan, Papagena’s recital vividly juxtaposes diverse styles and genres. Throw into the mix a Ukrainian lullaby, Bulgarian, Canadian and English folk music, Monteverdi, and a new arrangement of Kate Bush’s This Woman’s Work and you have something for everyone!
