For centuries, women have been crafting exquisite music, though their names may not be as familiar as their male counterparts. This evening is dedicated to changing that narrative by featuring an array of compositions that span diverse eras, styles, and backgrounds. From the Baroque elegance of Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre to the Romantic vigor of Adolpha Le Beau, the impressionistic beauty of Germaine Tailleferre, and the contemporary innovations of Jessie Montgomery, this program celebrates the rich tapestry of music penned by women.

These composers represent not only a variety of time periods but also a breadth of nationality and race, offering a panoramic view of the evolution and versatility of music written for strings.
