Enjoy an afternoon performance by members of the Philharmonia Orchestra at Cromwell Place. Your ticket includes a glass of prosecco or non-alcoholic equivalent, and entry to all the exhibition spaces. The galleries are open from 10am to 6pm.
This afternoon’s programme complements Cromwell Place’s focus on women in art for Women’s History Month. Four members of the Philharmonia’s cello section have put together a captivating programme showcasing women composers past and present, and memorable female characters from film and opera.
Barbara Strozzi, a 17th century composer of exquisite songs, rubs shoulders with two living composers, Roxanna Panufnik and Rosie Trentham. Women in leading roles are represented by music from Richard Strauss’s opera Der Rosenkavalier, the classic Audrey Hepburn movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and a new suite from Madam Butterfly arranged by the ensemble.
