classical music

[redcandlelight]

can we talk about women & cassical music?

watching the vienna new year's concert.

• not a single piece of music from a female composer
• only a handful of female musicians
• the ballet inserts where a troupe of women 'chase' one man (eurgh)

it makes me want to not like classical music at all tbh.

it will be interesting to see how many female musicians feature now normal order will be resumed

Florence Price is the next Composer of the Week, from Monday - the first African-American woman to have a work played by a major symphony orchestra.
