We are delighted to partner with Music on the Hill to present, Inspired by 52 Artists: Music for Voices, featuring the Chamber Chorus and Festival Chorus, led by conductor Ellen Espenschied Dickinson.
The program of Music for Voices is inspired by the current exhibition, 52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone. The performance features women composers and lyrics derived from women poets. These pieces by ten different composers showcase the breadth of expression and musical technique possible with vocal ensembles. The texts, written by eight different female poets, are expressive of the full range of emotions. They include themes of earth and sky, joy and perseverance, work and play, introspection and exuberance, and love in many forms. There are many connections of this music to the exhibited art, and the art to this music. We hope that each person will find inspiration in how the music and art intersect for them, and the ways the works depict the same ideas through different media.
The Museum will be open late until 6 pm. We encourage concertgoers to come early and walk through the galleries.
This concert is presented by The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum and Music on the Hill.
