She Speaks

About

Celebrate the music of women composers past and present in a day of performances and discussion curated by South Australian composer, Anne Cawrse.

Great art is great art.

Throughout centuries, female composers have struggled to be heard; slowly, the tide is changing.

Trace a path through great works from the middle of the nineteenth century to today; their contemplative beauty, rich storytelling, rhythmic infectiousness and ingenious creativity. On this day we begin to tip the scales, where female voices centre stage are not the exception, but the rule.

Join us as we celebrate a tiny slice of the diverse music created thus far, and look towards the important music yet to be made.
