Fanny Hensel, sister of Felix Mendelssohn, composed some 450 works. And it isn't enough to say that her music is as skillfully composed as that of her male peers. Like theirs, it has a distinctive voice (or voices).

Amy Lee Nelson, daughter of Willie Nelson, and Tina Rose Bridges, daughter of Leon Russell, have released their first single as newly-formed duo AleeN ROSE.

The life of Fanny Mendelssohn, Felix's older sister and an important composer in her own right, springs into color in a recent documentary.
