After5Society- A Forgotten Victorian Songwriter & The Birth of Modern Music

Join a Victorian researcher, performer, and Claribel enthusiast for A Forgotten Songwriter & The Birth of Modern Music, an immersive exploration of the life, songs, and revolutionary impact of Victorian songwriter Claribel. We’ll uncover how this overlooked woman helped invent music royalties, shaped the music business, and achieved global fame long before Spotify, records, or radio.

This isn’t a standard music history lecture. It’s a lively, visual, and musical journey full of fascinating stories, archival discoveries, and maybe even a live performance of Claribel’s songs. Curious minds (and curious questions) welcome.

Don’t miss this chance to experience the drama, creativity, and enduring legacy of one of music history’s most singular and influential figures with your After5Society.
