HerStories Unsung tells the stories of marginalised women through contemporary piano music, composed by Kevin Malone. Each piece explores an aspect of the marginalisation of women through an historical figure, as well as exploring seldom-used techniques of piano playing. This concert features the world premiere of HerStories Unsung Vol.2 (a suite of 20 piano pieces for Grades 2-8). Valentina Tereshkova, Rosalind Franklin, Bessie Coleman and Sister Corita Kent are a few of the women whose stories feature in this concert programme. Highlighting these and other remarkable yet under-recognised women who have shaped our modern world, this concert demonstrates the value of piano music as a medium for storytelling and activism.
