Kaleidoscope returns to its Portobello residence following its gala 100th performance with a special show for International Women’s Day, on the second Wednesday of March, as opposed to its usual first- Wednesday-of-the-month. The evening offers two short cinematic contributions, one a stunning Clare Langan 2015 piece “The Floating World”, with score by Johann Johannsson, the second a selection of short silent films to be presented with live score by series’ co-curator Lioba Petrie (cello). Music for the evening all stems from the pens of female composers, Clara Schumann, Nadia Boulanger, Rebecca Clarke, Amanda Feery, and more, but equality in the gender-balance of the evening’s line-up of performers will be very much in evidence. This is a night for all, male or female, to recognise a legacy and a future of female art-makers.
