After the inauguration and also in the Assembly, Eduardo Molero will present his lecture 'The great oblivion: Women and Women in Music' at 8:00 pm, where the questions posed by the exhibition will be addressed: How many composers do you know? How many works written by women have you heard?
o Do you know what the role of women in music has been?
'Those great strangers' reveals the life of 15 great women composers.
We made a historical journey from the Middle Ages to the postromanticism remembering those women who were key in the history of music, who apart from interpreters, although historians have traditionally ignored them, have also been composers.
