Trailblazers

Music by three intriguing women composers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Molly Gebrian and Danny Holt

Saturday, October 5th at 5PM ET

Trailblazers is a program that shines a spotlight on music from the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Henriëtte Bosmans, Ethel Smyth, and Dora Pejačević–women who were unabashedly themselves, defying the social expectations of their time against the backdrop of world wars and a global pandemic. Originally written for cello and piano, all three sonatas are presented here in new arrangements for viola and piano, marking a significant contribution to the viola repertoire. All three sonatas are featured on the new album, Trailblazers, from Acis Productions.
