A celebration of women musicians
Join us for a celebration of women musicians to mark International Women’s Day 2024.
This free study day will include a series of presentations and discussions by expert musicologists, academics, and musicians, on various aspects of the lives and music of women musicians, ranging from the 18th century to today.
The day will include case studies on specific women composers and performers, as well as more general talks on their achievements, challenges and barriers faced in their careers, women’s leadership in music, and aspects of acquiring, curating, and researching women musicians’ archives at the British Library. Speakers will include Suzanne Aspden, Samantha Ege, Sophie Fuller, Laura Hamer, Katy Hamilton, Barbara Kelly, Tim Parker-Langston, Rhiannon Mathias, and British Library curators.
