🎶Lunchtime Concert with Corelia Project 🎶

We’re looking forward to welcoming clarinettists Magdalenna Krstevska and Sophie Glenny, founders of the Corelia Project for an hour of wonderful music.

This is an initiative that strives to normalise inclusion and diversity in classical music through the performance and promotion of works by women and all gender-marginalised composers. It seeks to address the huge gender imbalance that still exists in the programming of classical music.

Do join us for a free coffee/tea following the concert ☕️
