“A great work of art is made out of a combination of obedience and liberty.” – Nadia Boulanger
Classical music is a living thing, constantly growing and evolving. It’s not something to be put on a pedestal and held, safe and untouched, in a museum. It has gone through many changes – some good, some perhaps not so pleasant. With today’s technology, however, we have the opportunity to hear more music than ever before.
On this episode, we’ll hear some of the newest music, from women composing right here and now.
