The career of Josephine Lang, a largely forgotten nineteenth century singer, pianist and composer, was constrained by the societal limitations of her time. This ‘portrait in music’ traces her life and gives voice to her music through her letters and songs, as well as music by Johannes Brahms and her friend and mentor Felix Mendelssohn.

"We were taken on a wonderful journey through her life and work. Stunningly performed, as we knew it would be, but the music itself was a revelation to us." (audience member)
"Burns was confident, polished, witty, expressive and sweet toned" The Times
"The stunning young contralto Jess Dandy...offered sumptuous tone and beautiful legato. She's a name to watch.” The Times
"A wonderfully responsive and assured pianist." The Telegraph

Founded in the 1880s, our chamber music concert series is the longest running of its kind in Europe. Conway Hall was purpose built in 1929 to host concerts and lectures, and they have continued here until the present day. The ethos of 'affordable classical music for all' still remains.
