Starring a myriad of female characters, from the spotless Virgin to the cold-hearted mistress, In Praise of Women (conceived and conducted by Londinium's Musical Director Madeleine Lovell) is a musical feast, featuring motets and madrigals from the English Renaissance, sacred music by Rachmaninov, Grieg, Bruckner and Duruflé, part-songs by Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Samuel Barber and Eric Whitacre, and works by contemporary composers Tarik O'Regan and Cecilia McDowall.
