This concert features all female composers.  It begins with Fanny Mendelssohn’s trio (1846-47) and continues with contemporary composers Joan Tower (2007) and young New Zealand composer Eva Beddgood.  Eva’s piece is a Christopher’s Classics commission.  The concert finishes with the rarely heard masterpiece by English composer and suffragette Ethel Smyth (1880).
