WOMEN'S CHOICE!

"Wybergschtürm" or "Die ruhige Weiber" in the laundry room: many country hits describe a women's theme, but come from the pens of men who naturally don't know much about women's lives. In the project Ladies' Choice! the true "Wybergschtürm experts" are now making themselves heard: Eleven of the most accomplished folk music women in Switzerland will present a complete programme of compositions by women and tour the country with them.

The idea came about at the suggestion of the artistic director of the Altdorf Folk Music Festival, which wanted to honour and highlight the influence and importance of women for the development of the folk music scene.
