Feminine Fusion

S5-27: Looking North, Part 2

Canada

“There is no arguing that popular music has a much greater resonance with people, and I feel very driven to make classical music matter in this larger sphere of musics.” – Rose Bolton

A while ago, we took a musical trip around the globe, and it seems a good time to do that again.  This week, we’re looking North, to Canada – with works and performances from women recently recognized for their music.
