I Have Something to Say
Sunday, March 13 | 4 pm
In 1920, the right to vote was expanded under the Nineteenth Amendment to include women. One hundred and two years later, we explore what it means to have your voice heard.
CCS has commissioned works from three of today’s leading women composers — Augusta Read Thomas, Lisa Bielawa, and Jessie Montgomery — that demonstrate the impact of speaking up and speaking out. As part of the day’s activities, you will also get to dictate a postcard to a real or imagined President as a part of Sheryl Oring’s participatory art project I Wish to Say.
Stay tuned for more information about this weekend of events celebrating women’s voices.
THE PROGRAM
Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel: Overture in C Major
Lisa Bielawa: Voters’ Litany (world premiere)
Nadia Boulanger: “Prélude” from Trois pièces pour orgue ou harmonium
