Welcome to a concert on International Women’s Day featuring songs and music from the periodical Damernas Musikblad (1901–1913). The magazine was aimed at women who played the piano in middle-class homes and offers a fascinating glimpse into musical life and women’s everyday lives in the early 1900s. The concert moves between humour and seriousness, reflecting women’s situation in the early twentieth century through the music. Performers: Amanda Björnerås and Anna Risberg
