6. Rich and Powerful. Jenni is joined by composer Cassie Kinoshi and Sophie Fuller, Professor of Gender and Music at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London, to consider the freedom afforded to women composers by money and connections. Ranging from the 12th Century Trobairitz (French troubadours) and the 18th Century Duchess Anna Amalia of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel to Croatian Dora Pejacevic, who rejected her aristocratic background. Jenni also explores whether financial status and a “who you know” culture still impacts on opportunities for young composers.
