Golda Schultz and Jonathan Ware

'This be her verse' live from the Queen's Hall.

South African soprano Golda Schultz makes a welcome return to the Edinburgh International Festival, this time with her regular recital partner, Jonathan Ware.
Having performed lieder together that was written solely by men about women, they have set about skilfully crafting a recital that speaks of a woman's world and experience but from the perspective and pen of female composers. Schultz presents 'This Be Her Verse', as a thoughtful programme of songs that range from Clara Schumann, Emilie Mayer and Nadia Boulanger through to a specially commissioned song cycle by librettist Lila Palmer and fellow South African composer, Kathleen Tagg, that lends its title to this concert.
