Nineteenth century Parisian composer, Augusta Holmès, was famous during her lifetime. She was both highly admired and criticized for composing large scale works, as this was considered “masculine” and inappropriate for a woman. Despite her colossal achievements, she is rarely talked about today. Come learn about her life, why her music is so important, and enjoy the music!
