WCPE Honors Women's Equality Day
TheClassicalStation.org Features Classical Females
Wake Forest, NC (Vocus/PRWEB ) August 20, 2009 -- WCPE Music Director William Woltz announces a celebration of Women's Equality Day, August 26, 2009. The event honors female composers commemorating the passage of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote.
"We shine the spotlight on female composers," says Woltz, who is also As You Like It host. "They have long languished in the shadows."
"You'll hear works by Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, Amy Beach and more," he continues.
On Sunday August 23, Great Sacred Music with Ken Hoover and Peaceful Reflections with Rob Kennedy will highlight the 11th century mystic, Abbess Hildegard von Bingen.
Her debilitating migraine attacks led to her composing some of the most ecstatic music of all time. A self-taught musician with the first biography of a composer, she led the way for women with her writings on theology and natural healing.
WCPE's 24/7 live broadcast of Great Classical Music, 24 Hours A Day can be accessed around the globe in several ways; on-line streaming in multiple formats, including IPv6, small dish home satellite reception, local cable television systems and traditional radio broadcasting. A complete list of the ways WCPE is available with instructions for cable and satellite reception can be found at: http://theclassicalstation.org/listen.shtml.
