1998

The Kapralova Society Inc.™ is a non-profit music organization, based in Toronto, Canada, and incorporated in the Province of Ontario. Founded in spring 1998 by Karla Hartl, 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 with the aim to promote, preserve, and protect 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.
