SWAN Day Women's Composers Festival to Premiere at Allen Hall
SWAN Day (Support Women Artists Now) is an international holiday celebrating female artists and their achievements. SWAN Day, which is held on the last weekend of Women's History Month, is enjoying its second year. Last year, more than 160 events were held in 11 countries. The SWAN Day Composers Festival, co-sponsored by the Community Music Center of Boston, is an evening of new music by eight young female composers. The featured composers are Liza White, Erin Huelskamp, Eva Kendrick, Ivana Lisak, Laura Macias, Carol Lubowski, E. Reed Ferenbaugh and Liz Erickson. There will also be a special pre-concert sound installation when the doors open at 6:30 by the multimedia artist Lovers v. Haters.
The program will feature a wide range of styles and influences. Kendrick’s chamber piece, Disir, for female voices, folk harp and cello, is based on the Norse Poetic Edda with improvised harp interludes by E. Reed Ferenbaugh. Laura Macias, a Mexican American composer, will present a song cycle set to poems by the Mexican poet Rosario Castellano. Liza White’s Babylon for trumpet and percussion is based on hip-hop beats. Carol Lubowski wrote and will perform Full Moon Waltz, based on classical Romantic themes, and in contrast, Liz Erickson will perform short atonal pieces for cello. Croatian-born composer Ivana Lisak will present "Remember," set to a poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti, for soprano, clarinet and piano, and Erin Huelskamp's work "Two Poems by Adrienne Rich," deals with contemporary lesbian issues. Each of the composers will introduce their pieces, and after the concert, there will be an open dialogue with the composers, performers and audience.
Performers include many faces familiar to the classical music audiences: Melissa Grieco, clarinet; Inja Davidovic, piano; Julia Scott Carey, piano; Geoffrey Shamu, trumpet; Sarah Dunn, soprano; Emily Culler, soprano; Sarah Long Holland, soprano; Natalie Markward, soprano; Julie Carew cello; Elaine Rombola, piano, and more.
The composers all attended Boston conservatories and universities, most are performers as well, and many work within the Boston schools. Ivana Lisak is newly on the music faculty at the Berklee School of Music; Kendrick and White both are on the faculty at the Community Music Center of Boston (White also teaches at Temple Ohabei Shalom); and Macias teaches at ZUMIX and the Edward Devotion School. Many are self-starters as well in the Boston new music scene. Huelskamp is the co-founder and executive director of the acclaimed Juventas New Music Ensemble, and White is the co-creator of Embryonic NOISE!, an adventurous new music ensemble equally at home in residence at New England Conservatory or a local bar. Ferenbaugh sings with the Bulgarian choral group Divi Zheni and is in a folk band, Anne's Cordial, with Kendrick. Lovers v. Haters is a multi-media artist whose work lies at the crossroads between performance, video sculpture, sound design, and networked art objects.
The concert and open dialogue will be followed by a wine and cheese reception. $15/adults, $10/students, seniors, FREE to the CMCB community. Cash and checks only. There is a handicapped accessible entrance on the Tremont side of the street in the Calderwood Pavillion.

I am going to try to come to one of your performances, but this particular one is right before a huge audition for me. I hope you dont' mind me bowing out of this one for a future one?
Ps. how is the cello sonata coming along??
no subject
The cello sonata is coming along, although slower than I would like. It's based on two Polish folk songs about fish. I'm working on the opening movement, which is going to be slow and abstract, but uses a refrain-verse-refrain type form.
