Jenni Murray is joined by composer-conductors Odaline de la Martinez and Yshani Perinpanayagam to uncover the women composers who have published under pseudonyms.

Jenni Murray continues her celebration of the music of women composers, presenting a fabulous playlist of great music, classic and modern, and exploring the issues women have faced in forging careers as composers.

7. Undercover. Jenni is joined by composer-conductors Odaline de la Martinez and Yshani Perinpanayagam to uncover the stories of women composers publishing under pseudonyms, often to neutralise gender or cultural prejudice - from the Baroque composer 鈥淢rs Philarmonica鈥�, whose real identity is still unknown today, to the British composer Amanda Aldridge, whose music found great success published under the name 鈥淢ontague Ring鈥�. Do women composers today still hide their true identities in order for their work to be seen and heard?
