Join us at the opening recital of Seigla festival featuring stunningly beautiful music rarely performed. The event is at once a concert, an ode to poetry, an informal research project, and a feminist storytelling session, featuring a world premiere of several new vocal duets.
Performing together, and at times separately, they will present vocal duets, art songs, and piano works by female composers, delve into their stories, highlighting their music.
