A few snaps from last week's #ConcertLab: The Mix where we put chamber music on shuffle - taking the audience from stage to stage
A force of nature, Polish composer Gra┼╝yna Bacewicz wrote seven violin concertos, eight quartets and four symphonies. ŌĆśI run, not walk,ŌĆÖ she said. ŌĆśI speak fast, even my pulse beats faster than normal.ŌĆÖ
Lutos┼éawski said, ŌĆśShe was born with an incredible wealth of musical talent, an almost fanatical zeal and unwavering faith in her mission.ŌĆÖ Asked if her music would last, he said ŌĆśtrue judgement of creative ability does not belong to contemporary reviewers, but to thousands o...f audiences over many decades, which may be referred to as the jury of time.ŌĆÖ
Fifty years since her death, judge this extraordinary artist for yourself as we take part in Kings Place's Venus Unwrapped series - unlocking the secret history of music by women.
