About the event
Oh, how the French adore their lilies! May Day in spring is heralded by flowering lilies of the valley, the Fleur-de-lis is the proud emblem of French royalty and Monet's devotion to paint water lilies are loved worldwide. But, did you know Lili Boulanger was the youngest composer and first female to win the most prestigious French composition prize, the Prix de Rome, at just nineteen-years-old?
Join the Highlands Music Collective for this enchanting concert at the Bowral Memorial Hall on Friday 6 September for an evening of beautiful music, good company, complimentary wine and nibbles.
