SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: Women Who Shaped the Musical World\, Lecture 1 - Great Composers
DESCRIPTION:https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/programs/women-who-shaped-musical-world\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Throughout the history of Western music\, men have claimed most of the spotlight and accolades as performers\, composers\, teachers\, impresarios\, patrons\, and instrument makers. Less attention has been paid to the scores of brilliant creative women who played these roles—along with many others—and who were relegated to the less brightly lit corners of the musical word. \nPopular speaker and concert pianist Rachel Franklin places them center stage as she examines their talent\, grit\, intellect\, and drive\, without which many of the most celebrated musical figures might have been significantly less successful\, and the musical repertoire far less rich. She brings these women and their often-untold stories to life\, showcasing them with live piano performances and historical and contemporary media clips. \nBritish-born Franklin has been a featured speaker for organizations including the Library of Congress and NPR\, exploring intersections among classical and jazz music\, film scores\, and the fine arts. \n——————————————————————————————————————————————— \nTwelfth-century abbess Hildegard of Bingen produced some 70 musical compositions while founding two monasteries and writing countless scientific and theological works. Fanny Mendelssohn’s lovely compositions were published under her brother Felix’s name to avoid social scandal. Clara Schumann combined maintaining an international performing and composing career with raising seven children and caring for her composer husband Robert\, who battled with depression. Franklin explores the great talents of these women\, as well as works by composers including Amy Beach\, Barbara Strozzi\, Margaret Bonds\, and Louise Farrenc.
