As part of the International Day of the Girl, an outstanding conference held by musicologist Irène Minder-Jeanneret was organized in collaboration with the CLAFG (Center de Liaison des Associations Féminines Genevoises) and the AGFDU (Geneva Association of University Women), highlighting the fascinating figure of Caroline Boissier-Butini (1786-1836), Genevan pianist and composer of the 19th century.
