Postcards from Erica
Last month was the final installment of cellist and women’s music specialist Erica Lessie’s “That’s What She Said” series of digital postcards about unaccompanied cello repertoire by women composers. The good news is that she will be back soon with a new series of postcards. She’s already hard at work on the next postcards, but wanted to know – what topics interest you most?
- Works by women composers?
- Cello ensemble works?
- Piano and cello pieces?
Please tell us in the comments or contact us directly.
If you haven’t seen her previous postcards yet, be sure to check out “That’s What She Said.” Interested in having your piece featured in a future series? Please get in touch with us – we’d be happy to hear from you.
