Verses & voices
oprano Jenny Wollerman had a “middle-of-the-night” bright idea last year. The NZ School of Music senior lecturer in voice was troubled by a scarcity of homegrown repertoire for singing students by female composers. From that 2021 nocturnal, a major project of new songs with piano by female composers, using poetry by female poets. Victoria University of Wellington Te Herenga Waka funded the commissions, and work began.
