Bold, brilliant women in chamber music

The concert opens with Fanny Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio in D minor (Germany), a passionate and lyrical masterpiece that rivals the works of her famous brother, Felix. Despite societal barriers, Fanny composed over 400 works, proving that talent knows no gender.
Kelly-Marie Murphy’s Give Me Phoenix Wings to Fly (Canada) soars with fiery intensity and breathtaking virtuosity, symbolizing rebirth and transformation—a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin’s Spirit and the Maiden blends haunting beauty with raw energy, drawing inspiration from folklore to tell a story of courage and resilience.
Clara Schumann’s Trio in G minor, Op. 17 (Germany) is testament to the child prodigy turned musical trailblazer. Clara balanced motherhood and a legendary career to create an enduring legacy as one of history’s greatest musicians.
This concert celebrates women’s voices, creativity, and determination, proving that the power of music—and the power of women—knows no bounds.
