Interview by Alain Brunet

Additional Information

Led by Canadian conductor Janna Sailor, this morning’s program highlights the talent, diversity and contribution of women to classical music, with works by Toronto Afro-descendant Rachel McFarlane, Indian-American Reema Esmail and American pioneer Amy Beach. The voices of guest soloists Suzanne Taffot, a soprano of Cameroonian origin, and Anuja Panditrao, an Indian Hindustani singer, will be used to magnify the work of Reema Esmail.
