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.
From WSHU's daytime and evening classical programs, Emily Boyer and Lauren Rico give you a heads-up on some of the best music they've selected.
