2026/S1 Elder Conservatorium Lunchtime Concert | She Speaks
Advertisement
Ensemble Lumen
Reena Esmail - Saans for Violin, Cello and Piano
Anna Thorvaldsdottir - Spectra for String Trio
Amy Beach - Piano Quintet in F-sharp minor, Op. 67
Presented in partnership with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra (ASO), She Speaks returns in 2026 to spotlight the voices of women composers. Reena Esmail’s Saans was written as a gift for a close friend’s wedding, paralleling her love for Franck’s Violin Sonata. Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s Spectra unfolds across six seamlessly connected movements, forming an ‘ecosystem of materials that are carried from one performer to the next… continuously growing in and out of each other.’ Amy Beach’s Piano Quintet reveals her expressive, late-Romantic voice, exemplifying her as a landmark composer in the American tradition.
