I’m delighted to share this review of my book Louise Talma: A Life in Composition, written by Nanette Kaplan Solomon for the International Alliance for Women in Music Journal, Fall 2015 issue. Here’s her conclusion:
“a groundbreaking, multi-layered, important book for both its creative methodology and its revelatory portrait of one of the towering women of twentieth-century music.”
I’ll take that!
I’m fully booked from arrival to departure at this point, but if you want to say hi, I’ll be participating in the following sessions:
