International Women's Day

Sarah Walker presents a live BBC Introducing concert from the BBC's Maida Vale studios featuring music by women composers past and present.

In January BBC Radio 3 invited submissions via BBC Introducing for music by women composers. We had hundreds of responses - and we've invited a few of the composers and performers who submitted tracks to give today's live International Women's Day lunchtime concert.
