Cellist Polly Sussex and writer and teacher Carole Acheson talk with RNZ Concert's David Morriss about a special concert coming up later in September.

The concert celebrates the life of mezzo-soprano Helen Acheson (Carole's daughter) who died suddenly in 2023. Friends Polly Sussex and Sarah Watkins join Helen's family Carole and Sophia Acheson for an afternoon of music and poetry written by talented and strong-minded women of the Victorian era.
