Trailblazers (2024)

“Trailblazers”—three women who were unabashedly themselves, defying the social expectations of their time. The underappreciated music of Henriëtte Bosmans (openly queer), Ethel Smyth (suffragette leader), and Dora Pejačević (rejected her nobility) is brought together for the first time on this recording in brand new transcriptions for viola that grab the attention of the listener and elevate the lives of three extraordinary women.
