Though we think we should celebrate women composers every day, but the month of May seems especially appropriate to celebrate the foremothers of music.

Be sure to download and share the May calendar which celebrates contemporary women (Judith Weir, Tania Leon, Victoria Bond) and historic figures (Louise Farrenc, Marianne von Martines, and Sappho, whose lyric poetry was the first recorded example of women’s work in music).
