That’s What She Said . . . Unaccompanied Works for Cello by Women Composers
Cellist and women’s music specialist Erica Lessie continues her “That’s What She Said” series of digital postcards about unaccompanied cello repertoire by women composers.
Each month she features three pieces in the form of short, digital postcards. These postcards are for cellists in search of new repertoire and for listeners eager to discover new additions to their playlists.
Erica’s October postcards featured works by Hildegard von Bingen, Elena Kats-Chernin, and Monique Gabus.
If you haven’t seen them yet, be sure to check out previous installments of “That’s What She Said.” Interested in having your piece featured? Contact us, and we’ll be happy to work with you.
November is Bow Time
Later this month, we are looking forward to the third installment of our bow history series by our Bow Specialist, Andrew Bellis: “W. E. Hill & Sons, London – How to Start a Legend.”
In part three, Andrew gives us more information about the success of the Hills and their role in the evolution of the modern cello bow. Want to catch up on this series? Click here.
