Cathedral Arts Presents: Helen Lyon and Elaine Greenfield Perform Works by Female Composers
Join us January 14 at 3:00 p.m. for a concert featuring vocalist Helen Lyons, Soprano, and Elaine Greenfield, Piano.
The program will consist of music by composers ranging from the early 19th Century to the present day, focusing on women. Some will be more familiar to the average listener: Fanny Mendelssohn, Clara Schumann, Lili Boulanger; and some who have been neglected but are being rightfully brought into the sunshine: Pauline Viardot-Garcia, Florence Price, and Margaret Bonds. We're including a world-premiere setting of a Margaret Atwood poem as well, by local composer and Vermont Public Classical Host, James Stewart.
This is a ticketed event. Tickets cost $25, or $20 for students, and are available via Seven Days.
