SUMMARY:International Women’s Day Chamber Music Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, March 8\, 20264 PM – 5:30 PM  \nSaint Barnabas Episcopal Church2 Revolutionary RoadArdsley\, NY \n			\n				Purchase Tickets\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				    \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				  \nIn celebration of International Women’s Day on Sunday\, March 8\, this concert exclusively includes works by female composers written between 1846 and 2023. Composers include Fanny Mendelssohn\, Amy Beach\, Mel Bonis\, and living composers Jennifer Higdon\, Reena Esmail\, and Andrea Cassarubios. The Solace Trio—April Johnson (violin)\, Peter Seidenberg (cello)\, and Tomoko Uchino (piano)—will perform these disparate works. \nFanny Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio (1846) is widely considered to be among her greatest compositions. The Romance for violin and piano by Amy Beach is a startlingly beautiful composition of late 19th-century romanticism. The prolific French composer\, Mel Bonis\, will be represented by her Soir et Matin (1907) for violin\, cello\, and piano. The concert then switches gears to three living composers. Jennifer Higdon’s Piano Trio explores the composer’s fascination with the relationship between composing and painting. Andrea Casarrubios’ Sonia for cello and piano (2023) is an homage to Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor\, and Saans (2017) by Indian-American composer Reena Esmail explores\, as does much of her work\, the worlds of classical Indian (Hindustani) and western classical music. \nThe 70-minute program will be performed without breaks for applause. \nAbout the ArtistsApril Johnson [violin].
