Voix de Femmes - L'amitié
They say that friendship is like a book: there are friends for a page only, others for a whole chapter... and the real ones who are with you
all your life. We feel the same about our musical choices in this programme. There are songs that have been with us on the whole
musical journey, others that we enjoy meeting from time to time and some we wish to get to know. We hope you will join us and meet up with some familiar friends, old and recent. We are privileged to be joined once again by our favourite soloist, Rebecca Steel on flute,
accompanied by Heather Easting piano, and our special reader Madeleine Dean.
