Unplucked Gems: Women in the 19th Century Guitar World

  • 837 Davie Street Vancouver, BC, V6Z 1B7 (map)

VCGS and UBCSoM collaboration:

Emma Rush discusses the lives and works of rarely heard composers from the 19th century including Emilia Giuliani Guglielmi, Catharina Pratten, Julia Piston, and Delores de Goñi. Among these women were virtuosic concert performers, savvy entrepreneurs, world travelling adventurers, and teachers of royalty. This presentation is a fascinating look at a vibrant but overlooked piece of guitar history.
