Crossover classical pianist, arranger, and composer Chloe Flowers presents her first Christmas album. While planning this release, Flowers discovered that works by women composers represented less than 1% of the music performed during the holiday season. “There are just so many Christmas pieces that are known, which are stunning, but there’s actually so many women-composed holiday music out there that haven’t been given the opportunity to be performed,” says Flowers. She Composed: The Holidays is the first of its kind, an orchestral holiday album across all genres, entirely composed by women, featuring Chloe Flowers as soloist with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. The program includes works from American composers Betty Jackson King, Undine Smith Moore, Linda Kachelmeier, Florence Beatrice Price, Elizabeth Coatsworth, and Flower’s own original composition, as well as Byzantine Empire composer Kassiani and German Benedictine abbess Hildegard von Bingen. The English National Opera Chorus joins in on five of the album’s 13 selections.
