When composer Libby Larsen started out, there weren’t many women composers successfully making careers writing music. “After 30 years, it’s ‘like night and day.’ The Norton/Grove Dictionary of Women Composers has 900 entries. There is now community, history, a consistent body of professional work and generations upon which to build. ‘I can see the next one coming,’ says Larsen knowingly. ‘You need seven generations to make a big change. We can now, at least, find five’.”
