There will be music by Florence Price, Angela Morley, Grażyna Bacewicz, Mari Esabel Valverde, Caroline Shaw, Anna Meredith and Jessie Montgomery, plus arrangements of Hildegard of Bingen, Alma Mahler and Lili Boulanger, with guest appearances from BBC Young Musician string finalist Elodie Chousmer-Howelles, film composer Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres and singer-songwriter Caitlyn Scarlett.
