The Festival comprises a series of recitals and evensongs, as well as a flagship orchestral concert in Trinity College Chapel on March 8th, to mark International Women’s Day. There will also be a composing competition open to women and non-binary individuals, with a prize for the winner as well as a chance to have their work performed during the Festival.
