Rebecca Clarke: The Seal Man

Rebecca Clarke was many things (violist, composer, chamber musician, lecturer, prankster(!), fashionista) and it's not hard to see why she has earned her place as one of the most important composers of the 20th century. In this episode we discuss Clarke's life from birth up though 1913 and we are joined by her great-nephew Christopher Johnson to discuss Clarke's legacy and her song The Seal Man with guest artists Joanna Harries and Natalie Burch.

All quotes from today's episode are taken from Christopher's not yet published book on Rebecca Clarke. The other source I consulted for this episode was the book Quartet by Dr. Leah Broad.
