5. Happy families. Jenni is joined by director Jude Kelly and lecturer Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason, mother to internationally acclaimed artists including cellist Sheku and pianist Isata, to explore the role of families in the careers of women composers - from 19th Century figures such as Clara Schumann, Alma Mahler and Amy Beach, whose husbands tried, often successfully, to quash their creativity, through to the present day and asking whether young female composers are given the support they need from their families and communities.
