What to expect
Joshua Hopkins turned his grief into Songs for Murdered Sisters, written with composer Jake Heggie and author Margaret Atwood, after his sister Nathalie Warmerdam was one of three women killed in Renfrew County, Ontario, on 22 September 2015.
Schumann's Frauenliebe und -leben, sung by mezzo-soprano Niamh O'Sullivan, sets the cycle in thematic tension: eight scenes follow a woman from quiet admiration through engagement, marriage and motherhood to mourning her husband.
