SYLVIA GLICKMANN - USA
DIED 16 JANUARY
Sylvia Foodim Glickman was a pianist, composer, teacher, and prominent promoter of music by women composers. Glickman was born and grew up in New York City, where her mother enrolled her in music school at the age of 3. She graduated from the High School of Music and Art in 1950 (now the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts). She earned a bachelor's degree in 1954 from the Juilliard School of Music, where she also received a master's degree in 1955 in piano performance. She studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London on a Fulbright scholarship.
"Mrs. Glickman was on a mission to unearth female composers who had gone unnoticed in music history. She began churning out catalogs by the hundreds."
"In 1991, she was coeditor with Martha Schleifer of a 12-volume reference, Women Composers: Music through the Ages. She finished the project before her death. Eight volumes have been published by Boston-based Gale Group. The four remaining volumes are still to be published."
She also founded the Hildegard Foundation, a non-profit organization which supports programs and prizes aligned with its mission of supporting women in the arts. The foundation is still operated by Glickman's family.
