$Sounds Historical present \u2018More than a Woman\u2019$

Join us on Saturday 20 September at 7:30pm as we present Sounds Historical: More than a Woman
Sounds Historical introduces us to some remarkable early modern women who left a tangible musical legacy in many ways - including as successful performers, composers, patrons of writers, instrument makers, muses, poets, printers and publishers.
The personalities range from the magnificent Isabella d’Este, who turned her Mantua court into a glittering cultural centre which remains a tourist magnet still, to the hapless Anne Boleyn - the ‘other woman’ who precipitated Henry VIII’s first divorce, caused England to break with the Roman church, and who was beheaded for treason after only 3 years of marriage.
Generously supported by SCCT Sutton Coldfield Charitable Trust and the Continuo Foundation, this concert forms part of Birmingham Heritage Week in Royal Sutton Coldfield.
