This!! Especially the point about how student loans affect women worse than men. Please read! I was the generation whose fees were paid and I even got a small (and decreasing) grant each year. Education should be free!!!

I spoke to my friend and wonderful composer Cassandra Miller, it was a pleasure to explore the sheer expansiveness of her music bachtrack.com/interview-cass…

Shamelessly using #InternationalWomensDay as an excuse to write about my favourite composers!

Today: a round up of some major new works coming up this year, from Hannah Kendall, Clara Iannotta, Lisa Streich and others...

Nice to hear my strings on Highasakite's version of this beautiful song written by #OdinStaveland as part of TV2's Hver Gang Vi Møtes.

A total joy to put strings on Gord Campbell’s version of Christine Polk’s song for Hver Gang Vi Møtes, on TV from 1st Jan. Great music, lots of crying & stunning scenery #kjerringøy .
