Virtual Presentation by Dr. Joy-Leilani Garbutt

The years surrounding the turn of the 20th century were a musically fruitful time in France. Developments in instrument building, a thriving concert scene, and a robust music education system provided the groundwork for artistic flourishing. Yet, little is known about the ways in which women were an active part of this musical landscape. This presentation will introduce the lives and music of several composers, active between the 1870s to the 1940s.
