Sources for Musical Herstory

9/26/2020

0 Comments

 
As I've been teaching the Musical Herstory course, I have had a few requests for sources. So below I will list all of the sources that I have thus far used for the course, and I will continually add more sources as the weeks go by.

Thank you so much to everyone who has been a part of the class, to those who are tuning in later, and - of course - thank you to the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra for hosting this class! It has been such an honour to present the information about these women.

Interested in the class? Not signed up yet? You can sign-up at any time during the class, and you will have access to any future classes and the recordings of the past classes. Click here to register.
