Emilie Mayer was a German composer who lived from 1812-1883. She started piano lessons as a toddler, but didn’t start composing until she was 28 years old. That’s when her father died, and she was free to pursue her music. Emilie Mayer was quite prolific as a composer, and today’s Beautiful Music is her piano concerto. This 2021 concert performance features Heghine Rapyan as the piano soloist with FSOA (Female Symphonic Orchestra Austria) conducted by Silvia Spinnato.
