The Ives Collective is excited to announce “Women’s Work” - its 2022-2023 concert season featuring music that has long been overlooked simply because it was written by women. Fanny Mendelssohn, Amy Beach, Germaine Tailleferre and Florence Price possessed rare musical talent, but they had to fight for their creative lives. Thanks to their perseverance, a career that was once impossible has become a viable life for women composers like Missy Mazzoli and Helen Grime. Please join us as we present music that deserves to be heard, Sunday, September 25, 4PM at Old First Church, 1751 Sacramento Street, San Francisco and Friday, September 3, 7:30 pm at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 600 Colorado Avenue, Palo Alto. Artists include: Hrabba Atladottir, violin; Susan Freier, viola/violin; Clio Tilton, viola; Stephen Harrison, cello; Gwendolyn Mok, piano. Tickets at: http://ivescollective.org/
