4. Religion. Jenni is joined by composer Roxanna Panufnik and choral conductor Suzi Digby to discover the role religion has played in the careers of women composers, from the 8th century Byzantine-Greek nun Kassia, through Abbess Hildegard of Bingen, to Ethiopian composer Emahoy Tsegu茅-Maryam Gu猫brou, who died in 2023. They also explore the enduring influence of mysticism on 20th Century figures like jazz composer-performer Alice Coltrane, and the meeting of multi faiths in the work of contemporary composer Reena Esmail.
