Happy international women’s day from all of us at West Coast chamber music. We would love to share the two female composers that are featured in our current season. Our January concert featured “The Waters, The Women” for Violin and Piano by American Mohawk composer Dawn Avery which is utterly unique.Dedicated to all mothers everywhere, our concert on #MothersDay features the Piano Quintet in A minor by African American composer Florence Price, which showcases clear expansive melodies suggestive of bright open skies.Visit our website for tickets:westcoastchambermusic.com/programs-2025/#internationalwomensday25 ...
