Emma Farquharson, Caleb Vaughn-Jones, Lara Kirsten, Ilse Myburgh & Oswald Mbuyiseli Mtshali: “Hear Her Now”
A concert staged from a feminist musicological stance, opera-trained Emma Farquharson (The Forest Weaver) collaboratively showcases the work of select female Western Art Music composers in an attempt to generate conversation around the “historically ignored of music history”. Cellist Caleb Vaughn-Jones and Emma once again share excerpts of footage from their Grahamstown National Arts Arena Festival sold-out show "A Feather on the Breath of God", whilst Emma and Lara illustrate their own recent Scottish folk song ventures, all in order to Hear Her Now. The project features a new voice over recording of "uit die resonante holtes", an Afrikaans poem penned by Lara for Emma, about the power of the female singing voice, which they believe holds true also as an acknowledgement and celebration of the creative expression of Women In Music. The cherry on the top is Emma's debut of Dr. Jeanne Zaidel-Rudolph's Art Song, "Boy On A swing", se to the poetry of Oswald Mbuyiseli Mtshali. She will be accompanied by pianist Ilse Myburgh.
