“I see music as a force of nature that can flood over a person and even change entire destinies.”  – Outi Tarkiainen

 

Let’s step out and take a trip around the world, to hear what’s going on with women in classical music.  Their inspiration comes from their homes, their hearts, and their travels.  So this week we travel North – even into the Arctic circle!
