With St. Patrick's Day still in our rearview mirror, and in honor of Women's History Month, Thursday's Classical Music with Foley Schuler will feature the music of Ina Boyle, who lived from 1889 to 1967, and is widely considered the most prolific and significant female composer from Ireland during the first half of the 20th Century. This one-time student of Ralph Vaughan Williams would become a prolific voice for women composers in her native land, with a broad and varied body of work encompassing choral, chamber and orchestral works as well as opera, ballet and vocal music. We'll hear her one of her best known orchestral works, The Magic Harp, as well a neglected masterwork, her beautiful Concerto for Violin and Orchestra.
You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon from 1 unti 4 on Blue Lake Public Radio.
