Simone Plé, from witness to narrative. Composing the history of women musicians at the beginning of the twentieth century.
In 1928, the musician Simone Plé (1897-1986) compiled 121 biographical notes tracing the careers of French instrumentalists, singers, composers and musicographers. Simone Plé’s manuscript is an attempt at a feminine history of music, and bears witness to an unprecedented approach in a field of historiography and a professional milieu dominated by the cult of male genius. Entitled Le Rôle des femmes dans les carrières musicales, the manuscript has been digitised and is available on the Bru Zane MediaBase (link).
Since 1984, the CNLB has financially supported young musicians of the highest level (performers, composers and musicologists) studying in France and rigorously selected in their respective disciplines by an international jury appointed to this purpose.
