about

Four Women brings together five twentieth-century piano works by four significant female composers.

Pianist Samantha Ege journeys through a diverse range of styles and influences—from African American folk songs and classical forms in Florence Price’s Sonata in E Minor to modernist explorations of Czech musical identity in the compositions of Vítězslava Kaprálová; from evocations of Edwardian English childhood in the miniatures of Ethel Bilsland (world première recording), to Romantic expressions of spiritual melodies inflected with jazz and blues in the music of Margaret Bonds.

Four Women showcases the most remarkable programme of solo piano music you’ve never heard.

4.5/5 ★ "Stunning piano music by four neglected female composers." Lisa MacKinney - Limelight

One of Renée Graham's (Boston Globe) Albums of 2018, alongside Janelle Monáe and Mac Miller - for Boston Radio.

One of the 10 best releases in 2018 of Women Composers. Elizabeth de Brito - The Daffodil Perspective.
