Pamela Bowden

Life Of A Low Lady

Pamela Bowden's story gives a unique perspective on the second half of the twentieth century. In this autobiography she presents a fascinating account of her rich musical life; first, her career as a contralto, performing in many countries and working with a wide range of composers, successive generations of conductors and fellow musicians; and her later years as a teacher, leader and innovator in British music. Her vivid descriptions of her childhood and service in the WRNs create intriguing social insights into pre-war and wartime Britain.
