Forgotten composer
Mary Howe didn't start composing until the early 1920s, when she was forty and had three children. But she still succeeded in building a successful career as a composer and wrote more than twenty large orchestral pieces as well as her very effective short tone poems.
Diana Ambache, pianist and musical director with the Ambache Chamber Orchestra, tells Claudia Hammond why Mary Howe's music is so unique.
The Diana Ambache chamber orchestra is performing some of Mary Howe's work at St John Smith's Square in London on 19th May at 7.30pm
