DESCRIPTION:\nThis presentation explores the history of women 
 composers who wrote for the keyboard from the late
  17th to the early 20th century and features extra
 cts from some of their major solo works. Much has 
 been written on the legacy of Nadia Boulanger\, pe
 rhaps the most famous composition teacher of any e
 ra\, but what is less well known is that the Paris
  Conservatoire\, where she studied and taught befo
 re 1914\, has a history of influential female peda
 gogues going back to the earliest days of its foun
 dation during the French Revolution. I will focus 
 on four of them: piano professors\, Hélène de Mont
 geroult and Louise Farrenc and prize-winning alumn
 i\, Marie Jaëll and Mel Bonis\, each a renowned co
 mposer and performer in their own right\, who left
  us with hundreds of works both for the concert ha
 ll and for didactic purposes. I’ll also be drawing
  on the legacy of composers Marianna Martines\, An
 na Bon\, Elizabeth Jacquet de La Guerre\, Elisabet
 ta de Gambarini\, Maria Szymanowska and Fanny Hens
 el. Music which could greatly enrich modern day re
 citals and teaching anthologies.\n\nColin Hazel is
  a pianist\, singer\, MD\, composer\, arranger and
  teacher with a music degree (BA Hons) from the Un
 iversity of Nottingham. He has worked as a solo pe
 rformer and accompanist in a variety of theatre\, 
 jazz and classical groups\, including The Barefoot
  Doctors and Giffords Circus. He has published New
  Horizons For Piano: Grades 2-3\, and is working o
 n a Grades 4-6 collection. Colin's interest in the
  history of women composers addresses the need for
  raising awareness and widening access to diverse 
 piano repertoire in music education.\n\n\n
