"A Note To You"

Radio Broadcast with host Virginia Eskin
and guest Liane Curtis
with sound clips
This program was first broadcast on January 9, 2000. "A Note To You" is a joint production of Northeastern University and WGBH, Boston. The Rebecca Clarke Society, Inc. thanks Northeastern University for permitting this program to be made available on our website. A special thanks to pianist Virginia Eskin for pursuing the idea for this broadcast, and for her decades of devoted work on behalf of women composers.

The broadcast is presented here without the original musical examples, and without the audio clips of the 1976 interview with Clarke (we are working to obtain the rights to include those audio materials). Links to music already available on the internet have been substituted.

Virginia Eskin, a California native and long-time Boston resident, is an extremely versatile solo pianist, chamber player and lecturer, known for both standard classical repertoire and ragtime, and a long-time champion of the works of American and European women composers. Her website is: http://www.virginiaeskin.com/.

Liane Curtis, musicologist, critic, and cultural activist, has written a wide range of articles on Rebecca Clarke. She first met Virginia Eskin in the early 1990s, and she has always been inspired by Eskin’s pioneering performances of music by women composers. Learn more about Liane.
