Mary Howe: American Composer Mary Howe didn't start composing until the early 1920s, when she was forty and had three children.
She still succeeded in building a successful career as a composer and wrote more than twenty large orchestral pieces as well as her very effective short tone poems.
Diana Ambache, pianist and musical director with the Ambache Chamber Orchestra who are currently performing a series of works by American Composers, "Old Masters, New Mistresses" told Claudia Hammond why Mary Howe's music is so different.
