Amazing seance at Steinways today where Rose McLachlan had comissioned 22 female composers to write a nocturne inspired by Chopin.
So not like Rosemary Brown but a much more eclectic choice. To give a voice to some of the woman composers of the day of which far too little is known.
Rosemary Brown would receive music from the hereafter and Peter Katin would perform it at the Wigmore Hall.
The difference is that these are living composers writing music inspired by Chopin and performed by a young pianist whose father had infact been a student of Peter Katin.
But Rose is indeed a Rose and making her way in the music profession with performances that are already being noted by the critics for their authority and musical integrity.
Inspired by a project that she had to present for her master’s degree she decided on this project of creativity to give a voice to a category that has lain silent for too long.

Some beautiful playing for composers inspired by the world of Chopin.
With the amazing McLachlan family at the helm we heard fourteen of these nocturnes by composers that were also present.

With Father Murray presenting ,brother Matthew page turning ,Mother Katherine coordinating and last but not least Rose dedicating her extraordinary artistry to presenting each of these composers with total commitment and artistry .
Some very distinguished guests and the entire concert with interviews all streamed live giving a platform to some dedicated women composers of whom we speak all too rarely.
