Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Programming
“In recent years the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic has applied itself to highlighting and celebrating talented women composers whose work has too often been sidelined thanks to historical patriarchy.
They include Lili Boulanger, Amy Beach, Clara Schumann and – later this season – Florence Price, as well as some of the best and brightest modern female composers like Joan Tower, Vivian Fung, Caroline Shaw and Grace-Evangeline Mason.
And, thanks to support from the Sirens programme (a 10-year initiative to promote music by historical women composers), singer, pianist and composer Marianna Martines, a Viennese contemporary and friend of both Haydn and Mozart.”
