Das Jahr – The Year

How does a modern period instrument ensemble address the puzzle of under-representation of work by women composers? We’ve commissioned four of today’s most exciting composers – Roxanna Panufnik, Electra Perivolaris, Freya Waley-Cohen and Errollyn Wallen – to each write a new work inspired by a movement from Fanny Mendelssohn’s Das Jahr. The four pieces will frame a performance of the piece itself by Olga Pashchenko on fortepiano.
