A record label is bringing forgotten female composers out of obscurity
A record label is bringing forgotten female composers out of obscurity

Quote:Unsung heroines of classical music are being resurrected from obscurity thanks to a new record label dedicated to women composers.
La Boîte à Pépites (The Jewel Box) was founded by French cellist Héloïse Luzzati. It builds on the ‘Elles – Women Composers’ festival and YouTube channel she started to promote forgotten female creators.
Many of the label’s composers have never been recorded and Luzzati spent hours poring over original manuscripts and first editions to rescue their work from obscurity.
The article is a couple of years old but this label is still going! They've had to change their name after a dispute (they're now called Cité des Compositrices) and are apparently planning to launch a score publishing house this year.
