Fortissima – a femmage to the heroines of music
Royal Albert Hall, Elgar Room, SW7 2AP , [Venue Details]Donne, Women in Music, a foundation dedicated to achieving gender equality in the music industry, returns to the Royal Albert Hall with a concert celebrating the power, diversity and genius of women composers from past and present - performed by cellist Raphaela Gromes and pianist Julian Riem.
Raphaela Gromes is not only an exceptional cellist - she is also a passionate musical trailblazer. Her number one album Femmes delighted audiences with a musical kaleidoscope of female composers from the Baroque to the present day, and now Raphaela is opening a new chapter in her artistic mission with her new release, Fortissima.
Her artistic goal? To bring musical gems by great female composers back into the concert hall and into music catalogues.
Many of the works on Fortissima were previously inaccessible until recently - either lost, gathering dust in private estates, or simply never published. With this new album, Raphaela Gromes is doing pioneering work, and as a result, the renowned music publishers Henle, Furore and Boosey & Hawkes are publishing editions of the Fortissima recordings that never existed before. Fortissima is therefore more than just a musical treasure - it is a cultural and historical milestone.
Accompanying Raphaela is Julian Riem, a versatile performer across solo, chamber, and Lied repertoires who has been hailed as one of the most promising pianists of his generation.
