Becoming Composers: Women on the Make

Prize-winning performer and internationally recognized pedagogue Stefania Neonato makes her BEMF début in a fortepiano recital exploring a diverse selection of women composers. Enjoy masterpieces from established figures of Romanticism, Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn; Maria Szymanowska, who extensively toured Europe as a virtuoso pianist in the early 19th century; and Marianna von Auenbrugger, a Viennese composer and performer who was well acquainted with the Mozart family and a student of Haydn and Salieri, whose promising life and career was cut short by illness when she was 23.
