Pre-Concert Talk with Robert Hugill • 5.30pm

Robert Hugill introduces the story of musical autodidact Amy Beach. Trained as a concert pianist, marriage and societal pressure stopped her performing and she reinvented herself as a composer, becoming the first successful American female composer of large-scale art music and one of the first American composers to succeed without the benefit of European training.
