Celebrating the creativity of women composers, Music SHE Wrote is an ode to the power of artistic expression and a tribute to the indomitable spirit of female creators. Highlights include Libby Larsen’s Quartet She Wrote, dedicated to the harmonious celebration of female prowess, and Fanmi Imèn for flute and piano by Valerie Coleman, which weaves together a rich tapestry of emotions and cultures.
