The carefully curated programme promises a profound journey through the evocative musical interpretations of these formidable characters. Taylor's performance is poised to deliver a dramatic and compelling exploration of ancient myths, brought to life through the power of song. Audiences can expect an evening rich with storytelling and emotional depth, showcasing the artistry of both Taylor and Brown.

Beth Taylor is joined by pianist Hamish Brown, her regular collaborator, for this special occasion. The recital is inspired by the sea and iconic female figures from myth, including the Lorelei, Cassandra, and Medusa. Women composers are especially well represented in this programme, with works by Ethel Smyth, Lili Boulanger, Clara Schumann, and medieval composers Kassia and Hildegard of Bingen. The programme also features songs from the enigmatic singer-songwriter and activist Connie Converse's last known work, the haunting Cassandra Cycle.

The recital takes place at The Queen's Hall in Edinburgh on Tuesday 11 August at 11:00. Please check the website for further information on ticket prices.
