Gwyneth by Hayley A Jenkins published on 2015-06-26T14:21:33Z Commissioned for the Late Music Festival, York for the Albany Trio and premiered on Saturday 6th June 2015. The work, entitled Gwyneth, tells the story of an eleven year old girl who was sent to Australia for safety at the outbreak of the Second World War. The piece takes direct influence from a diary entry which was written by a young girl which recounts the day she is taken to Liverpool by her mother to the dock to get the boat to Australia uncheperoned along with other children of similar ages. The carefully handwritten pages capture a unique insight into a life-changing journey through the eyes of a young child.

I looks very similar to this. 2016-03-02T19:06:13Z Comment by cathrinta @jenkinsonare: Is she in the picture? 2015-11-26T22:32:48Z Comment by Hayley A Jenkins @cathrinta: Ah thank you, they are extracts from my Great Aunt's diary on the day she was evacuated to Australia at the age of 11. 2015-06-27T11:24:27Z Comment by cathrinta I do not understand the words but the music speaks to me.
