started a #wikipedia article on US violinist, conductor, Elyse Aehle (1894-1981), began conducting orchestras in the Illinois in the 1930s, continued in Los Angeles from the 1940s to the early 1970s, as conductor of the South Bay Symphony (and her grave is in my zipcode): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elyse_Aehle @wikiwomeninred #WomeninMusic @wikipedia_la #PalosVerdes #Torrance #SanPedro #Violin #TennesseeWilliams
@PennamitePLR @wikiwomeninred @wikipedia_la are you focusing on violinists bc you play the violin? I grew up playing, then picked it back up later and played in a punk band. Violin, electric bass, drums.
@shotgunseamstress @wikipedia_la No, I've never played the violin; the @wikiwomeninred special emphasis this year is music, and interesting women violin players keep appearing in the 1920s music publications I'm haunting right now.
