March 8th is International Women’s Day, an annual celebration that honors the achievements and contributions of women in all fields. Sunday Baroque is celebrating the accomplishments of some top-notch women MUSICIANS. They include baroque-era women composers such as 18th century French lutenist Julie Pinel and 17th century Italian nun Isabella Leonarda. We’re also featuring some leading current-day women musicians such as conductor Emmanuelle Haim, trumpeter Alison Balsom, and viol player & scholar ​Laury Guttiérez this weekend on Sunday Baroque.
