Classical Music Radio Broadcast Request Promotes Women Composers - Composer Amy Beach

Classical Music Radio Broadcast Request Promotes Women Composers - Composer Amy Beach The I nternational Alliance for Women in Music and other musical advocacy groups encourage classical music lovers to request the music of notable women in music. Each month different composers are chosen.  More information below:  To participate in promoting the broadcast of women's compositions, please telephone or e-mail local and/or Internet radio stations during Aug. 5-11, 2018, requesting that they play music composed by AMY BEACH.

Women Composer YouTube Database Project Looking for Female Composers and Songwriters

Women Composer YouTube Database Project Looking for Female Composers and Songwriters The Women Composer YouTube Database is a project designed to make the works of prominent women in music known to a broader base by creating long playlists of works by select female composers and songwritings in classical music, electronica, and film. This is a project begun by award-winning composer Sabrina Pena Young.   The hope is that as more and more of these Youtube Playlists of women composers are made available, the playlists will be shared and other musicians will take the time to create more female composer playlists. This project was begun in August 2017. The goal is to eventually have 100 + separate playlists highlighting the works of 100+ female composers.   If you are interested in having a playlist made of your work or a prominent female composer as part of this project, please contact Sabrina Pena Young directly through her facebook page: https://www.facebook.com...
