Cécile Chaminade and Ethel Smyth

Cécile Chaminade and Ethel Smyth had a lot in common. Born a year apart, both began playing piano at a very young age. Both had long, successful careers during a time when there weren't many women composers. Hear music by both Chaminade and Smyth tonight on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.

Julie Freddino is WSHU's program director. She also hosts Sunday Spotlight and produces Sunday Baroque.
