Opening the new My Myra series, musical director, choral conductor, pianist and composer Martin Segerstråle presents an evening of enchanting chamber music inspired by works of remarkable female composters, featuring the repertoire of Dame Myra Hess herself.
Hosted in the stunning 120-year-old Great Hall, the programme will highlight the work of composers Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn, and features a performance of Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring in Dame Myra's transcription.
This new programme of events is curated by established and emerging musicians, inspired by their own personal experience of playing Myra the Steinway. Taking place in Bishopsgate Institute's Grade II* listed Great Hall, these concerts will provide an opportunity to relax and indulge in some sparkling events with world-class and innovative musicians.
