Celebrate the unapologetic wonder of women during our March concert.
The program features the long-lost (1952) Second Violin Concerto of Florence Price, a work that was only re-discovered in 2009 in her abandoned house! This rarely performed work is brought to the stage with the esteemed violinist Rachel Barton Pine.
Opening the concert, Tania Leon’s work, STRIDE - awarded the 2021 Pulitzer Prize - was originally commissioned as part of a project to commemorate the historic 19th Amendment that gave American women the right to vote, and is inspired by the pioneering feminist Susan B. Anthony.
The second half of the concert features Scheherazade, a symphonic masterwork inspired by the well-known fairytale of a heroine who changed fate through her wisdom and courage. A truly epic showcase of musicality and spirit that all will enjoy.
