Event details

Join us in University Hall for this hour-long concert featuring UK-based chamber collective, Tailleferre Ensemble. The programme will be themed to platform female composers and players, in celebration of International Women's Day, including Louise Farrenc's Sextet in C Minor for Woodwind and Piano.

Listen to a recording of Farrenc's Sextet performed by OperaEnsemble and other works performed by Tailleferre Ensemble on Spotify.

Tailleferre Ensemble
Founded by oboists Nicola Hands and Penelope Smith, since its inception in 2019 the group has gone from strength to strength. The ensemble’s work encompasses diverse instrumentation, time periods, and genres, with a particular onus on promoting underrepresented and underappreciated works and composers, both historical and contemporary. Their playing has been praised for its "extensive palette of timbres". The Tailleferre Ensemble are Musicians in Residence at St. John’s Church, Notting Hill.
