Ladies’ Night

More from this show

Every March the United States celebrates Women’s History Month – acknowledging and honoring the accomplishments and contributions of women in the U.S. and around the world. Now, before there was an entire MONTH devoted to women and their accomplishments, there was just a day – International Women’s Day, which is traditionally celebrated on March 8th. In 1977, people started celebrating Women’s History Week. And by 1987, Congress declared that the whole month of March should be used to acknowledge and honor women. 

This week on Arizona Encore, we’re celebrating and acknowledging the many, many, MANY contributions women have made to the world of classical music. You’ll hear music by Florence Price, Madeleine Dring, Clara Schumann, and many others, too.
