The Paris Conservatory was created in 1795 to encourage French composers and to promote the French ideal. It was also during this period that the notoriously conservative institution first allowed women to enroll as students. Karen Pendle states that while women were first limited to performance of voice, piano or harp, by the 1870's female students began to study violin, harmony and composition. A number of these female composers flourished, winning first prize at the conservatory and having very successful careers in music. This CTL Special Event will feature the work of several of these talented women.
