About the event
Discover the music of two remarkable British composers, Ina Boyle and Elizabeth Maconchy, whose lives and work were closely intertwined. Both were pioneering women composers of the early 20th century, sharing Irish connections and a friendship forged within the vibrant musical world of their time. From Boyle’s evocative Love is the Plant of Peace and Seven Psalms to Maconchy’s intimate Four Miniatures, There is no rose and String Quartet, this programme explores their shared fascination with faith, poetry, peace and the human spirit.
