Rebecca Clarke – 140 Years, a Conversation Renewed

To celebrate the 140th anniversary of an outstanding composer: A chamber music journey through Rebecca Clarke's world, from the Viola Sonata to songs and instrumental works for voice, piano, and violin, including Morpheus, Midsummer Moon, and Dumka.

Rebecca Clarke (1886–1979) was a pioneering British composer and a distinguished violist whose music is marked by refined harmonic language, lyrical intensity, and a finely shaded sense of colour. In an era that offered few opportunities to women, she forged an artistic voice of striking independence, subtlety, and emotional depth.
