This concert features chamber music by Lili Boulanger, Mélanie Bonis, and Louise Farrenc for flute, cello, piano, and voice. Inspired by Women Impressionists and the Land, the program shines a light on the Impressionist influences that extended beyond the canvas to women composers of the era—artists who broke boundaries, defied expectations, and helped shape the musical landscape of their time.
