À propos de cet audio

In the 1940s, it was unheard of for women to be members of a professional orchestra, let alone play “masculine” instruments like the bass or trombone. Yet despite these formidable challenges, the Montreal Women’s Symphony Orchestra (MWSO) became the only all-women orchestra in Canadian history. Formed in 1940, the MWSO became the first orchestra to represent Canada in New York City’s Carnegie Hall. The stories of those musicians are illuminated here, including the life of the incredible Ethel Stark, the co-founder and conductor of the MWSO.

A great listen. I expected to be uplifted, but I car away inspired. I’d never really thought about women once being unable to play in orchestras, due to it being considered indecent to play anything but the most delicate instruments. That we had an entire women’s orchestra in Canada that played Carnegie Hall is quite remarkable. Lots of surrounding stories of Canadian, musical and women’s history included.

An outstanding piece of Canadian musical history
