Esther Abrami's lifelong love for the violin began at the age of three with her late grandmother's instrument. In her debut composition 'Transmission,' part of her new album 'Women,' she delves into her emotional connection with music. The album features notable works, including the world-premiere recording of Ina Boyle's Violin Concerto, showcasing forgotten female composers. Conducted by Irene Delgado-Jimenez, the album highlights the contributions of women in music, aiming to shine a light on underrepresented voices in the industry, including living composers like Rachel Portman and Anne Dudley.
"I kind of took where she left and kept going."
"It's a composition that I feel very emotional playing, and recording it also felt very special."
"In all those years, I'd learned hundreds of pieces, but not a single one of them had been written by a woman."
"...several of the 14 composers and songwriters on the album, including Brazil's Chiquinha Gonzaga and Venezuela's Teresa Carreno."
