Queens and aces: the best classical music of 2019
There’s a year-long celebration of female composers, a brand new festival of contemporary music – and it’s birthday time for Berlioz
This is the start of a year-long celebration of female composers at Kings Place. The history of women in music, from medieval times to the present day, will be traced in 60 events featuring more than 100 composers. It all begins with a portrait of Barbara Strozzi, contemporary of Monteverdi and pupil of Cavalli.
Kings Place, London, 10 January and throughout 2019
