In November 2014 I started celebrating the lives and music of neglected composers on my programme on CBC Music, In Concert. The segment is called the In Concert Revival Hour – it’s an hour-long feature on the compositions and life story of an under-appreciated composer – salvaging deserving music from the scrapheap of history.

I often get asked for a list of all the composers who have been celebrated on the Revival Hour. Some of them, you may have heard of. Some not at all. All lived interesting lives you never hear about, not even in music school – especially 19th century women, of whom there were many more than I was taught.

Here they are, in broadcast order. Episode 1 aired November 9, 2014.
