 BBC Radio London interviewFounder Ellie Consta was honoured to feature on BBC Radio London in the run up to Her Ensemble's debut show, chatting about representation in the industry and the incredible music the group have discovered together. |  Things Musicians Don't Talk AboutEllie was honoured to feature on TMDTA podcast hosted by Rebecca Toal and Hattie Butterworth, talking all things from failed lockdown sourdough, to overthrowing the patriarchy, the importance of self expression and creating space for gender minorities in the industry. |  The Strad feature'There just haven't been as many female composers' or 'They just didn't write as much' are pretexts we hear time and time again. But these sweeping statements, although factually correct, give the false impression that female compositions are few and far between and therefore presumably secondary in quality. There are in fact over 5000 female composers that we know of dating all the way back to 450 BC, over 500 symphonies to date and countless ensemble, vocal, organ, choral works - you name it. |
