Music by contemporary women composers from across the world interspersed with works by 20th-century trailblazers from the UK, Grace Williams, Dorothy Howell and Minna Keal.

Music by contemporary women composers from across the world interspersed with works by twentieth century trailblazers from the UK: Grace Williams, Dorothy Howell and Minna Keal, performed by the 麻豆社 Orchestras. Grace Williams is generally regarded as Wales's most notable female composer, and the first British woman to score a feature film. Dorothy Howell was championed by Sir Henry Wood but after Proms performances throughout the 1920s was all but forgotten until about a decade ago. Minna Keal studied at the RAM in the 1920s, and then pretty much stopped her musical career, only returning to it when she was in her 80s. Her music was performed at the Proms in 1989 when she was 80: 鈥業 felt I was coming to the end of my life, but now I feel as if I'm just beginning. I feel as if I'm living my life in reverse鈥�.
Presented by Fiona Talkington.
