2.2 When live music stopped; how one singer turned performance into a doctorate.

"It’s like rewriting in my own head all these assumptions that I made…finding my own place, as a woman and as a performer. To share my experience with a new kind generation of other people and singers who are interested in contemporary classical music.” Soprano, Rebecca Hardwick, talks to Music Works about her interest in contemporary music and how, when Covid shut down live music, her explorations of Kurtag’s Kafka Fragments led her to take up a DMus in contemporary performance at The Guildhall.
