International Women’s Day: A Chamber Music Celebration!
March 8 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
$40
On Sunday, March 8, RiverArts honors International Women’s Day with a special chamber concert featuring the work of six women composers spanning nearly two centuries, from Fanny Mendelssohn to living voices shaping classical music today. Together, these works tell a powerful story of women composing boldly across generations, often without the recognition they deserved. Under the artistic direction of cellist Peter Seidenberg, the musical program will include:
Fanny Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio (1846)
Amy Beach’s Romance for Violin and Piano Op. 23 (1893)
Mel Bonis’ Soir et Matin for violin, cello, and piano (1907)
Jennifer Higdon’s Piano Trio (2003 )
Andrea Casarrubios’ Sonia for cello and piano (2023)
Reena Esmail’s Saans (2017)
The celebrated Solace Trio—April Johnson (violin), Peter Sidenberg (cello), and Tomoko Uchino (piano)—will perform these distinct works and create an afternoon of unforgettable beauty and power.
