This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

For years, Nancy Williams, D.A., collected the classical music pieces she could find that were written by women. Now, she's ready to showcase those works in an International Women's Day concert.

She previews the recital and discusses why there are so few women composers. Plus, she talks about how concerts like hers could help change that.

Williams’ clarinet recital celebrating women composers is Friday, March 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church in Rapid City.
