Vive la Femme

Calendar IconFriday, November 8, 2019
7:00-8:00 PM @ The Old Church

Overlooked but not forgotten, the composers on Vive la Femme deserve an audience, and we’re here to deliver. The program features music by groundbreaking and heroic suffragette composers Rebecca Clarke, Dame Ethel Smyth, Amy Beach, and Ruth Crawford Seeger. Their stories and music are important reminders of the power of musical art to challenge the cultural patriarchy. mousai REMIX's performance is presented in celebration of the 100-year anniversary of the adoption of the 19th amendment.
