A selection of songs by Bonis    

A forbidden romance, a secret daughter and gender prejudice: just some of the dramatic elements in the life of Mel Bonis.

In this afternoon concert, MyAV·¶ College of Music singers and pianists guide the audience through the music of this late-Romantic French composer. In Secrets & Desire, MyAV·¶ musicians explore Bonis’ fascinating and compelling life through her beautiful and neglected songs, interwoven with narration.
