Music by Historical Women at the Operating Theatre
Tickets
🎫 Ticket for 1 person to Twilight Lives: Guitar Music by Historical Women Composers, including an introduction and demonstration of the Old Operating Theatre followed by a guitar concert featuring music composed by women from the early 19th century
General Info
📅 Date: Thursday 16th January 2020
🕒 Time: 7pm-9:30pm (doors open 6:15pm). The licensed Apothecary Wine Bar will be open until 6:50pm for pre-show drinks
📍 Location: The Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret, in the attic of an 18th century church
🎵 Music: early 19th century guitar works by women composers
❓ Please note: no drinks are allowed inside the Operating Theatre. The facilities are restricted due to the special location of the museum. Access is through a narrow 52-step spiral staircase
Description
The early 19th century has been described as the first golden age of guitar music. While classical music has traditionally been perceived as a male-dominated affair, many women composers throughout history have also written unique and expressive works, unfortunately lost in the sands of time. This is a rare opportunity to experience the breadth of expression, formal mastery and emotional heights of those unjustly neglected works. What's more, the space where the music will play was once the room where 19th century women went through surgery without anaesthesia!
