'I feel that this is a seminal moment in bringing female composers’ works into the repertoire and I am so in favour of the way you have done it; the artwork, the mixture of composers that you have selected, both well-known and the discoveries! Brilliant!’
Lizzie Ibrahim, composer, and Producer for BBC Radio 3
