I am really impressed with the amazing research that ARS Femina has done on women composers. Their work was cutting edge. They searched through many European archives and libraries to rescue some very rare scores and bring them to the light of day. ARS Femina has made some wonderful editions and collections of music by women composers available to the world. Without their diligent research, editions, performances and recordings, this precious music would still be hidden and locked away. As the Artistic Director and Conductor of the Four Seasons Orchestra of Scottsdale, Arizona, I would like to thank ARS Femina for their efforts on behalf of all women composers, and on behalf of all musicians. I have performed many of their editions with orchestra and as a viola soloist. Each piece is a beautiful treasure that needs to be enjoyed by all who love music.
