March 14, 2023
More from this show

For centuries, women were actively excluded from prominent roles in Western Art Music. And while there is still progress to be made, we want to take the opportunity during this Women’s History Month to recognize the women who paved the way for gender inclusion in Western Art Music institutions.

Rebecca Clarke - Viola Sonata
W.A. Mozart - Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra in C Major, K 299/297c
