Celebrating the music of exclusively women composers, this program spans from east to west, modern day to the Middle Ages. Isabella Leonarda’s hauntingly beautiful medieval music for violin and lute sets the stage for the evening. Soo Yeun Lyuh’s music follows with a composition originally premiered by the Kronos Quartet. Finally, Libby Larsen’s Fourth String Quartet demonstrates her mastery of merging complexity and beauty into a single work. Centered around the theme of water in its many forms, this final piece is at once soothing and challenging.
