1998

The Kapralova Society Inc. is a non-profit arts organization incorporated in the Province of Ontario and based in Toronto, Canada. Founded by Karla Hartl in the spring of 1998, the Society's mandate is to build awareness of women's contributions to musical life and to support projects that make available, in print and on compact disc, the music of Czech composer Vitezslava Kapralova. In August 1998, the Society launched its website to preserve, protect, and promote the memory of the composer. On December 15, 1998, a landmark CD, "Vitezslava Kapralova: Portrait of a Composer," was released by Studio Matous, an independent label based in Prague. The project was initiated by the Society's predecessor, Spolecnost Vitezslavy Kapralove,^[1] and further assisted by the Society (for detailed information on the project see the project page).
