The Corelia Project celebrates International Women's Day at The Old Church, Stoke Newington, on Friday, 8 March, as they spotlight exceptional women in classical music. Taking the beloved combination of clarinet and string quartet, this concert will showcase exciting and beautiful clarinet quintets by women from Britain and beyond.

Australian clarinettist Magdalenna Krstevska is joined by the Alkyona Quartet in this exploration of quintets that deserve a place in standard concert programmes everywhere. From the exhilarating music of Elizabeth Maconchy and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich to the intricately woven, vivid soundworld of Anna Clyne, this is a concert not to be missed.

Returning to the beautifully intimate and relaxed space of The Old Church, Stoke Newington, this next instalment of the Corelia Concerts series will be the perfect opportunity to discover something new and to fall in love with composers you won't believe you've never heard of!

This concert is generously supported by the GEMMA Classical Music Trust.

Launched in March 2023 by Magdalenna Krstevska and Sophie Glenny, the Corelia Project's mission is to elevate the voices of women and all marginalised genders in classical music through the performance and promotion of their works. The Corelia Project website features a database of repertoire by women from all over the world, making it easier for instrumentalists to diversify their own repertoire and discover something new.
