Zoom, Tuesday 18 August 2026, 18.30 UK timeComposer Courtney Caitlin Phillips wrote an 8-piece chamber music series for each of the Brontë sisters’ novels, including Charlotte’s unfinished Emma. Though its April 2020 live premiere was cancelled due to the pandemic, she was thrilled to resurrect her work and celebrate the legacy of the Brontës in a world premiere of her compositions at the Kilkee Brontë Festival in Ireland in September 2025. She is now delighted to be able to share her work with the Brontë Birthplace, Thornton. Her talk will include some brief, personal vignettes of how she was first introduced to the Brontës, how her connection to them has deepened over the years, and how they continue to inspire her creativity. She will also share excerpts and analyses of the chamber music series, show how each piece connects with its respective novel, and reveal a few Easter eggs hidden in the scores.
