 When you think of composers of the past, you might say Beethoven, Mozart, or Bach but there have also been many women composers, including Fanny Mendelssohn, Nadia Boulanger and Ruth Crawford Seeger. Nowadays, there are quite a number of women composers yet they still don't seem to be getting full recognition. The composer Judith Bingham has just won the Choral award for her composition “My Heart Strangely Warm’d” at the British Composer Awards. She joins Martha and Sarah Rodgers, Classical Chair of the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters and Roger Wright, Controller of Radio 3, to discuss the place of women composers in modern musical life.British Academy of Composers and Songwriters
