The violinist Esther Abrami is not just an acclaimed musician, but a serious social media influencer with over a million followers online
Her dedication to promoting her life as a performer on TikTok and Instagram has opened up the world of classical music to a younger audience, and seen her become a brand ambassador for several haute couture outlets.
Now she’s releasing her third album with the aim of showcasing the women composers that she believes are unjustly overlooked. Last year research by the Donne Foundation found the number of works by women being played by global orchestras had gone down in the previous season – to a paltry 7.5 per cent of the repertoire.
