Go up the twisting ladder of influence and hear Ravel’s favourite salon contemporary - Charlotte Sohy. Continue the renaissance with music of Reena Esmail who was reborn into her artistry by embracing her Hindustani roots. Danielle Greene’s virtuosity will guide us through Mozetich’s Affairs of the Heart. So many new discoveries await!
