The title of the Boulanger Trio’s latest album alludes to Virginia Woolf’s seminal 1929 essay “A Room of One’s Own” discussing the barriers faced by female creative artists. The Boulanger Trio (Karla Haltenwanger, piano; Birgit Erz, violin; Ilona Kindt, cello) pay tribute to centuries of women composers who struggled with, and one way or another triumphed over, those barriers. Included are Renaissance composers Vittoria Aleotti and Barbara Strozzi, both of whom benefitted from the strong support of their fathers; blind pianist Maria Theresia Paradis, 19th-century composers Elfrida Andrée and Fanny Hensel, the trio’s namesake Lili Boulanger, contemporary composer Lera Auerbach, and singers Barbara and Alicia Keys.
