Yes.
Some faves of mine not listed in the article are the Sohy (1919)
Strohl's Forest symphony (1901)
Barraine's Nos. 1 & 2 (1931 & 1938)
Smyth's Serenade in D (not a symphony, but a fabulous symphonic work; Brahmsian, but with its own Smyth-y thing).
Bonis also has some great symphonic works.

I remember in 2008ish going back to hear one of my old university orchestras play one of Gloria Coates' symphonies. The programme notes described her as the most important women symphonist which I think mostly shows us how much rediscovery of the 19th C women composers there has been since then.

Here are 9 of the greatest symphonies by female composers For centuries, female composers were thought to avoid the symphonic form. Not so. Here are some of the best symphonies by female composers

Good list of recommendations of symphonies by women from @rebeccafranks.bsky.social (though sadly Gubaidulina is no longer with us).

When are these organizations going to be held accountable? The problem is ALWAYS the enablers; in this case, it is systemic organizational tolerance that begins with the conservatories.

The classical music scene is a cesspool of misogyny and racism.

Read Elayne Jones' Little Lady With a Big Drum.

“I am talking about the experience of misogyny and sexism. Across the 30 or so operas I have directed, I have never had a working process free of sexism.”

It's not a shock that a genre with so much sexism and misogyny would lead to working environments with sexism and misogyny, but having had furniture thrown at you as a woman director is still jarring

Katie Mitchell: ‘I’m retiring from opera because of the misogyny’ After 30 years, the distinguished director is bowing out. She talks about feeling unsafe, being screamed at — and having furniture thrown at her

Elgar is the soundtrack to VE Day celebrations — this is his story Land of Hope and Glory is almost an unofficial national anthem, but there was much more to the composer than his flair for pageantry and pomposity

I've been looking forward to this weekend's Ólafsson concert at the @wigmore-hall.org.uk for months now. I'm happy to hear him play absolutely anything, but the Goldberg Variations is always such a treat!

Just what the doctor ordered for my post-book fairs recovery programme.
