Description
In honor of the exhibition Becoming a Woman in the Age of Enlightenment: French Art from The Horvitz Collection, violinist Anita Felix and pianist Miles Graber have created a program of women composers who broke their own glass ceilings. Composers such as Clara Schumann (who supported her husband’s music career over her own), Fanny Mendelssohn (who’s family championed her brother Felix’s musical gifts despite Fanny’s prodigious talent) persisted in their efforts to create beautiful music of the Romantic era, and works by Maria Grandval, a French romantic composer who achieved fame under a masculine pseudonym. Join us in this celebration of female composers whose skill, passion, and musicianship put them in a class of their own.
