In July I gave the first performance of the complete Artemisia, a song-cycle for voice and string trio by Paul Ayres. It sets poems by Sue Powell and tells the story of the life and art of Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the earliest women painters to establish a lasting reputation.
The videos of the performance are now available to watch on You Tube and you can read more about the project in my earlier blogpost.
Above is the video of La Giuditta, the song about the making of Artemisia’s famous painting Judith slaying Holofernes.
