Musical Herstory 2.0 - Week Three

Week Three – Almost Footnotes There are so many composers (both male and female) where there is little biographical information about them, and in some cases absolutely none is to be found. As a result, these composers and their music are overlooked putting them at risk of simply being a footnote in textbooks. This week we’ll spend time listening to music by composers whom we know little about. Composers in focus: - Cesarina Ricci (c. 1573 - ?) - Hélène de Montgeroult (1764 – 1836) - Eva Dell’Acqua (1856 – 1930) - Cecilia Arizti (1856 – 1930) - Lyse Gingras (b. 1949) Hosted by the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. This was filmed on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis. For this week’s listenings: This class took place on May 27th, 2021, and is the third session of six classes that ran every Thursday at 7:00pm CST.
