In the first episode of John Berger's "Ways of Seeing", he states: "tonight, it isn't so much the [classical European] paintings themselves I want to question... as the way we now see them.. because we see these paintings as nobody saw them before. If we discover why this is so we shall also discover something about ourselves and the situation in which we are living" Inspired by his ambition, this concert will be taking on the quintessential classical formation: the string quartet. But wait - there's more! We'll be doing so through the lenses of the women who composed for it: Florence Price, Grazyna Bacewicz, and Pauline Oliveros. We'll chat a bit (don't worry, not too much) about how their music was received then and now and what sort of barriers exist in playing the music of women who are no longer alive. We'll also get a tour of the City Reliquary which has everything from subway dust, to brass pigeons, to a bolt from the Brooklyn Bridge! Reserve your spot via Groupmuse to view the show LIVE on March 27th. We will have super duper limited in person seating -- contact us via our website for more info.
