Sarah Walker on International Women鈥檚 Day

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning and puts a musical spin on International Women鈥檚 Day.

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning, and puts a musical spin on International Women鈥檚 Day.

This morning Sarah plays a selection of music written by women whose creativity is as varied as their individual lives.

She discovers pieces by medieval spiritual leaders, and women who navigated the tricky courtly environments and restraints of the 17th and 18th centuries. There鈥檚 a focus on 20th-century female pioneers who ignored family advice to follow their own path, tackled the 鈥榖oys club鈥� of mischievous Parisian iconoclasts or became queens of the jazz scene.

Sarah also celebrates previously unknown sonatas and concertos that have only recently been recorded, and enjoys timeless songs that (perhaps) only a woman could have written.
