Episode 54: 20054 The Women's Philharmonic

The short-lived, San Francisco-based Women’s Philharmonic, founded in 1981 and disbanded in 2004, had an enormous impact on America’s classical music scene, promoting not only the music of woman composers but performances by prominent woman conductors and soloists. In 1992, they made their first recording for the Koch International Classics label under the direction of conductor JoAnn Falletta. Musical Concepts is pleased to return this recording, featuring works by Fanny Mendelssohn, Clara Schumann, Germaine Tailleferre, and Lili Boulanger, to international availability.TracksFanny MendelssohnOuverture (arr.
