Recital Repertoire

Inspired by hearing the haunting music of Lili Boulanger, Christina Knudson knew that she wanted to tell the world about this amazing composer, thus opening her ears to all the beautiful music of seldomly performed music by women composers. Inspired by this, she decided to create her own recital series at her local concert hall, Okurayama Memorial Hall in Yokohama where she researches and performs a recital each year. Her goal is to mix the well loved classics with lesser known works by women composers.
