NEW CD - MARSYAS TRIO
15/12/18 08:20 Filed in: new release
The London-based Marsyas Trio, formed in 2009 by graduates of the Royal Academy of Music, is dedicated to music for flute, cello & piano from the Classical era to the present day. This album presents trio works by women composers of multiple generations; five of them living British composers, and one notable American. The release marks the 100th anniversary of (some) women getting the vote in the UK, and celebrates the diversity of compositional style, the wealth of talent, and accomplishments of living British women composers today. The album includes five premiere recordings: Judith Weir's Several Concertos, Thea Musgrave's Canta, Canta!, and recently commissioned works for the trio by Hilary Tann and the two youngest composers on this album: Georgia Rodgers and Laura Bowler. Radio Monalisa will be presenting these works in the upcoming shows.
