Mozart’s Women – concert programme
Thanks to everyone who came to the wonderful Mozart’s Women concert with Jane Glover at St John’s Smith Square on Thursday 11 April. We had some great feedback about the performance and many of you were blown away by our talented young guests Jennifer France and Lauren Zhang.
We had something of a rush for programmes, such that we sold out: a first for us! Many asked if it would be possible to get the programme digitally. A low res version is available here:
