Beyond Dudley’s contributions, experience the power and beauty of works by pioneering female composers including Rachel Portman, the first woman to win an Academy Award for Best Original Score, and Debbie Wiseman, OBE. The program also features the sweeping drama of Ina Boyle’s *The Wild Geese*, Christine Hals’ shimmering *Calling the Aurora* (a tribute to the Northern Lights, from the creative team behind *Frozen*), and the mesmerizing textures of Dani Howard’s *Argentum*. Prepare for a dynamic and unforgettable afternoon filled with cinematic masterpieces and breathtaking musical moments.
