Clemmie Burton-Hill returns to Classical Fix for a special one-off episode recorded for International Women’s Day on 91Èȱ¬ Radio 3 - her first time hosting since a serious brain injury in early 2020. Clemmie regularly champions female composers whose music deserves to be better known and in this special edition, she mixes a playlist of all women composers from across the centuries, including new music being written today. Her guest is the broadcaster and new presenter of Radio 4's Woman’s Hour Emma Barnett. In January, Clemmie talked to Emma about her injury and her continuing recovery, including the powerful role music has played.

Emma's playlist:

Maria Szymanowska: Nocturne in A flat major 'La Murmure'
Anna Meredith: Moonmoons
Margaret Bonds/Langston Hughes: Dream Variation (from Three Dream Portraits)
Lera Auerbach: Prelude for Violin and Piano Op.46 No.8
Florence Price: Nimble Feet (from Dances in the Canebrakes)

This episode was first broadcast on 91Èȱ¬ Radio 3 on International Women's Day 2021.
