Girls Gone Classical

By Laura Knoy on Friday, June 16, 2006.

When listing the greats in classical music, one doesn’t tend to consider women, but they’re out there and very different than their male counterparts... Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn and New Hampshire’s own Amy Beach to name a few. We’ll look at the history and highlights of women in classical music with one of New England’s greatest interpreters of them Virginia Eskin. Laura's guest is Virginia Eskin, Boston based pianist and host of "First Ladies of Music" and 13-week radio series produced by WFMT in Chicago and Northeastern University.

This Summer will lead a series of Three Performances and Talks as part of the Monadnock Music Festival. Click here for more information on these concerts.
