SYNOPSIS

This is a web series in 8 parts of 5:30 minutes each, reminding us of composers who have unjustly faded into obscurity, beginning with Hildegard von Bingen and ending with Ethel Smyth, who is most famous for her MARCH OF THE WOMEN, and Alma Mahler, whose husband forbade her to become a fully-fledged composer. This series is also part of the international transmedia installation ‘An Orchestra of One´s Own' and invites you to use it as a format in order to create more episodes with other forgotten women composers who very often were stars in their own time.
