HfMT alumnae release a CD with works by female composers from all over the world

Fanny Fheodoroff, violin (Bachelor's degree 2018 in the class of Prof. Tanja Becker-Bender, since then Master's degree at the Juilliard School in New York), together with pianist Camille Lemonnier (Master's degree 2017 in the Lied class of Prof. Burkhard Kehring, since then degree at the Guildhall School in London), has released a CD entitled "Adoration", dedicated exclusively to works by female composers from all over the world and across many eras. The album will be released on Spotify on February 16, 2022.

About the CD "Adoration"
After many years of studying together at the HfMT Hamburg and London's Guildhall School, we managed to stay in contact even after graduating from the distance between Hamburg and New York. Thanks to the generous financial support of the Juilliard School and the Capriccio Kulturforum, we were finally able to realize this special heart project at the beginning of 2022.
As musicians of the 21st century, it is our great desire to create attention and awareness for works by female composers and thus revive and preserve the socially neglected artistic legacy.
The CD album "Adoration" contains works by Grażyna Bacewicz (Poland), Amy Beach (USA), Lili Boulanger (France), Rebecca Clarke (England), Florence Price (USA), Amanda Röntgen-Maier (Sweden) and Clara Schumann (Germany) - an international list of exceptional female composers that combine to create a varied program. In addition, we were able to win the Singaporean composer Cheng Jin Koh for our project: her commissioned work "Dancing Marionettes" for violin and piano gives the album an additional color and builds a bridge to our present time of freedom and diversity.
The name of the album is not only inspired by Florence Price's piece of the same name, but also denotes our recognition and gratitude to all the female composers who lived before us and had the courage and strength to break out of their systems in order to lay the foundations for a free and self-determined life.
