 | | Celebrating Female Trailblazers | During the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote and Women’s History Month Morning Classical Host, Kevin Doherty chose five trailblazing women to celebrate, all who lived during the worldwide suffrage movement and made waves with their music.
Germaine Tailleferre
The French composer Germaine Tailleferre embarked on a career in music despite her father’s wishes that she would not. She was a celebrated student at the Paris Conservatory, where she met the five other composers with whom she would become associated and known collectively as Les Six (The Six). Tailleferre was the only woman in this group. She was incredibly prolific in her lifetime, composing right up to the time she died at 91.
Amy Beach
Amy Beach is the highly regarded American composer who was the first woman to have one of her symphonies - the “Gaelic” Symphony - performed by a major American orchestra. She also acted as a bullhorn for the accomplishments of women in music. Beach was known to set the record straight when famous men in her profession doubted the creative capabilities of women. She touted the many accomplishments of women in her field and became a symbol of the suffrage movement in America.
Nadia Boulanger
There may not have been a more influential human in music in the 20th Century than Nadia Boulanger. Putting her career as a composer second, Boulanger was one of the most prominent composition teachers of the 20th Century. Boulanger was a teacher to hundreds of composers, including Aaron Copland, Astor Piazzolla, Philip Glass, Quincy Jones, and more. She was also the first woman to conduct many of the major orchestras in the United States and Europe.
Lili Boulanger
Lili Boulanger was the younger sister of Nadia and an up-and-coming composer. Born into a successful musical family, it’s no surprise that Lili was a prodigy impressing her teachers and other notable composers like Gabriel Faure from a very young age. When she was just 19 years old, Lili became the first woman to win the coveted Prix de Rome (think Pulitzer Prize but for France and the arts exclusively). However, Lili suffered from chronic illness throughout her life and died from intestinal tuberculosis at 24. An asteroid called 1181 Lilith found in our solar system’s asteroid belt was named for Lili in 1927.
Dame Ethel Smyth
Dame Ethel Smyth wrote the anthem for the Suffragette Movement, “March of the Women.” She was also a very active member of the movement and even took two years off from music to devote herself to the cause. A prolific composer, Smyth’s opera “Der Wald” was the first opera written by a woman performed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 1903. That work held the distinction of the only opera by a woman performed at the Met for the next 113 years. |
