Stories of Women Composers – Lifting the Veil
From to
“Where music is also told from a female perspective”
- OrtPlace
- Sonceboz-Sombeval
The exhibition “Histoire(s) de compositrices – Levons le voile!” was conceived by the association Présence Compositrices to make women creators of music visible across the centuries. Comprising 28 posters, it traces the paths of composers who are often absent from traditional musical narratives. The exhibition offers a historical, artistic, and educational perspective, intended for all audiences. Each poster presents a composer, her historical context, her major works, and anecdotes illustrating her journey. The exhibition is suitable for all ages and can be visited freely or as part of guided tours.
