Happy Women’s History Month! Celebrate with concerts featuring Beach’s music!

Many concerts celebrating Women’s History Month feature Amy Beach’s music —

In Pasadena, CA, the ensemble  Melodia Mariposa features the   Piano Quintet (op. 67) by Amy Beach in their March 7 concert, offered as a celebration .  Works by Clara Schumann, and LA-based composer Anna Drubich are also  on the program.   Melodia Mariposa’s website is here, and this article describes the program in more detail.

On March 8th, Carola Emrich-Fisher (mezzo-soprano) and Lara Dodds-Eden (piano) will present their recital “Unheard Voices” of women composers’ works at Lauderdale House (London). The impressive program will feature music in six languages from three continents, and range from 19th-century Romanticism to contemporary styles.  They include Amy Beach’s rare song, The Blackbird, from Op. 11 (1889).
