Musas: Uncovering Lost Piano Works by Latin American Women Composers by Costa Rican pianist Dr. Gabriela Calderón Cornejo is an enlightening piano performance with commentary on the album and anthology Musas, which strives to uncover and celebrate a collection of powerful at-risk compositions written by Latin American women born before 1950.
