Fenella Humphreys, Nicola Eimer & Dr Leah Broad

Fenella Humphreys is an exceptional violinist, a joyously natural communicator, and a passionate advocate for under-represented composers. This collaboration explores forgotten voices from some of the most important but sidelined figures of 20th century music, inspired by Broad’s eye-catching 2023 book Quartet: How Four Women Changed the World – an ambitious intertwined biography of these four composers.

Here, joined by pianist Nicola Eimer, their music is allowed to blossom after years of neglect, introduced and embellished through extracts from their journals and correspondence. Four exceptional, trailblazing female composers forging careers against the odds, all with fascinating stories to tell.
