Her genuine connection with audiences and engaging presence have thrilled her growing audiences. She performs as a concerto soloist with leading orchestras, as a chamber musician and as a recitalist in major concert halls around the globe.Anna Tilbrook is one of Britain’s most exciting pianists, with a considerable reputation in song recitals and chamber music. She made her debut at the Wigmore Hall in 1999 and has since become a regular performer at Europe’s major concert halls and festivals.In this concert of Mozart and Modern Women they perform Mozart's Violin Sonatas in A major and B flat major, alongside works by Amy Beach and Pauline Viardot.Amy Beach was credited as the first American woman composer of ‘art music’. Pauline Viardot’s Six Morceaux demonstrate 1920’s Paris elegance and lyricism. By recontexualising these two major works in the context of Mozart’s pivotal violin sonatas, Emily and Anna shine a light on the music of modern women to be seen at the forefront of duo repertoire.
