insight into the world of composers

Systematic research into her biographies and works only started in the late 20th century. Well -known names such as Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn and Hildegard von Bingen have contributed to paving their way for future generations. These pioneers left an impressive legacy in music history and forced the change in a predominantly male -dominated art world.

• Fanny Mendelssohn (1805-1847) : Estimated composer of romance.
• Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) : pioneer with liturgical compositions.
• Nadia Boulanger (1887-1979) : Influenced conductor and teacher.
• lili Boulanger (1893-1918) : The first woman who won the Prix de Rome.

These impressive women stand for many whose works were often in the shadow of their male colleagues and are now being recognized in Hanau.
