Gender Equality in Classical and Contemporary Music
French Institute – tune in onto Facebook & YouTube at 6.30pm.
Join an exceptional live streamed panel dedicated to gender equality in classical and contemporary music organised in partnership with the Academy La Maestra and the Philharmonie de Paris, in the wake of the inaugural edition of the Maestra International Competition for Women Conductors last September, and as part of our ongoing strand, Women Shaping the World.
Maestra second prize winner, conductor Stéphanie Childress and composers Anne Lovett (Faber music), Angèle David-Guillou (laureate of Diaphonique, our Franco-British fund for contemporary music / Village Green), Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch (Manners McDade) and Héloïse Werner (The Hermes Experiment) will discuss their own perspective on equality and share updates about their careers in a panel chaired by BBC Radio 3 presenter Katie Derham and complemented by live musical interludes.
