(S)heroes
(S)Heroes is our long overdue tribute to the many incredible contemporary and historically underrated female composers.. The frontier of classical music composers is arguably one of the last to be significantly breached by women; most featured here have valiantly forged their way in the past few decades. Without a recent surge of interest in artistic voices lost to the trends of history, composers like Louise Farrenc and Margaret Bonds would perhaps be in danger of being forgotten forever. We hope that this program is not just a celebration of the contributions of these women, but also reminds us of the joy to be found in discovering gems of culture and beauty that have been overlooked. While the obvious thread here is celebrating female composers, we have also tried to incorporate composers from around the world, and a variety of styles to showcase the breadth and quality of what we have to choose from.
