“We are compelled to undo the erasure of women in the field of classical music. This work is essential because, even today, we don’t know our own history nor women's contributions to it: young women and men don’t learn about the generations of women who contributed to the field of classical music, and so they grow up thinking that female composers are a modern phenomenon. The next generation of audiences and artists needs role models– not just from yesterday, but from decades and centuries ago. The good news? We have them.”
–Amelia LeClair, Artistic Director
