On October 14th she will speak about and perform works of several female composers of the 18th -19th centuries and perform pieces on harpsichord and organ. It is hoped that several pianists (of all ages) will play music by women of the 18th – 21st centuries as well. The composers represent a variety of socio/economic levels, ages, nationalities and life circumstances. Some of the composers covered: Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Elisabetta Gambarini, Augustinian Nuns of Vitré (18th c), Princess Anna Amalia of Prussia, Anna Bon, Marianne von Martinez, Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, Clara Schumann, Elfrida Andrée, as well as speaking on composers whose piano works participants perform.
