As a woman in her 40's who has played the piano and flute on and off since high school....I am ashamed to say that I have never thought of, researched or heard of female classical composers. That will change from today....thanks Tiny Desk for this revelation.

I actually can't say how well known or unknown she is but one not played in this Tiny Desk is Cecile Chaminade.

Shout out Ms. Cahill. I used to come in early for my ensemble at school and would bump into her packing up from her last class. She was always incredibly warm and generous with her time and attention. So great to hear her sounding so great.
Roy G. Biv
She is one of those pianists that makes me question whether I truly know how to play piano.
Robin Thomson
There is a rung reserved for every single one of us on the ladder of music. You can play🙂
Leif
Why do youh say that.? How can we learn to play like her then easily?

I love Tiny Desk because i'm introduced to artist I would never have heard otherwise. Sarah is a diamond among gems.
Regina Harris Baiocchi
Brava, brava, brava, Sarah Cahill! I cannot thank you enough for breathing new life into my "Piano Poems" and the poetry of Gwendolyn Brooks, Richard Wright, and yours truly each time you perform my music. XXOO
Bill Rudiak
Congrats on being featured on Tiny Desk and showcasing these marvelous pieces! So enjoyed working with you back in Oakland on recording/livestreaming projects and getting introduced to these female composers and their music.

I shall return to this when I can listen properly in my home studio...but...it sounds very promising...I'm also interested in the journey of women composers of all genres of music, not just contemporary classical...all sounds very compelling...
