Time has come to reclaim the notion of Eve.

This work begins in the present and rapidly falls back through history
to the eve of time itself.

Herself.

Inspired by a quote from one of Hollywood’s greatest matinee idols

“If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun!”

Miss Katharine Hepburn, the four-time Oscar winner, with a career spanning 60 years.

In the film The African Queen, she & Humphrey Bogart meander down the River Nile, where they encounter many obstacles.

This music reflects their tempestuous yet loving relationship aboard ship.
Of course.... there are rapids ahead!

An American-born singer, dancer and actress. A superstar and political icon : Josephine Baker was the first African-American female to star in a major motion picture, Zouzou, in 1934.

In 1963, she was the only woman invited to speak at the side of Dr. Martin Luther King at the March on Washington for Freedom & Jobs. She spent most of her working life in France – perhaps too outrageous for American sensibilities - Josephine was awarded the Croix de Guerre for services to the allies in the 2nd WW. She was a spy, smuggling secrets out of France written in invisible ink on her sheet music.

She was literally... An American In Paris.

This musical portrait is of the first woman to be awarded a Nobel prize, Marie Curie. In fact, she was awarded two. The first one she shared with her husband Pierre Curie in recognition of their work on Radiation, the second honoured her discovery of Polonium, which she named after her native Poland.

Widowed at only 39, she subsequently had an affair with a fellow, married scientist, which scandalized the French establishment. For this reason and the fact she was a woman, Marie was refused entry to the French Academy of Sciences.

In this piece one train of thought leads to another and another, sometimes going somewhere, sometimes nowhere in particular... searching...like the scientific process itself.

A woman with a beautiful name, Valentina Tereshkova. A factory worker and amateur parachutist, she was plucked from obscurity by the Soviet government in 1963 to be the first woman in space.

At age 77 she was seen carrying the Olympic flag at the 2014 Sochi winter Olympics in Krasnodar Krai, Russia.

Valentina announced that she would have been delighted to join the ‘Mars One ’mission scheduled for 2022 and would be ‘unconcerned about returning...’

In this transcendental music, imagine her looking through the capsule window for the first time, at the beautiful planet Earth below.

We celebrate Amelia Earhart; the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic from Newfoundland to Derry, in Ireland in 1932. She was a pioneer in aviation.

Courageous and determined, she set out in May 1937 on her second record breaking attempt to fly around the world. Her first attempt in March that year ended in a crash in Hawaii. Following a route close to the equator, all went well till suddenly radio contact was lost and her plane disappeared mysteriously somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Rescue crews to this day still mount searches for her, such is her legacy.

In this music we hear her taking off amidst the encouragement of the cheering public, then is left alone flying silently and single handed.
