Finding A Voice 2021: Elizabeth Hilliard & David Bremner

Finding A Voice is a four-day concert series of music by women composers through the ages to celebrate International Women’s Day.

Soleils couchants/The End of Day

Elizabeth Hilliard (soprano) and David Bremner (piano) perform works by French, Belgian and Irish composers including Nadia Boulanger, Augusta Holmès, Poldowski and featuring Irish composer Rhona Clarke’s beautiful song cycle The End of Day. Tying in with the theme for 2021 #ItsAboutTime, there are references to time throughout the recital, from Poldowski's setting of Verlaine's tempting hour, to the passing of time in Clarke's song cycle, as it moves between images of childhood and old age.
