Mélanie Bonis is one of the most accomplished composers of her time, yet she shared the fate of her female composing contemporaries: Practicing music as a profession was unthinkable for women at the time. Bonis sought creative ways to still be heard in the male-dominated musical world - and changed her first name from "Mélanie" to the gender-neutral "Mel." The concert program is almost emblematic: the established Romantics and fellow composers Strauss, Wagner and Bruch rally around the musical portrait of the controversial ancient female figure Salomé, whom Mel Bonis portrays as an impetuous, passionate, but also deeply conflicted character struggling with the world.
