Explore music written by contemporary women composers, including Jennifer Higdon, Gwyneth Walker, Valerie Coleman, and Amanda Harberg, in this concert by the Telos Trio (Rita George Simmons, flute; Carl Galland, clarinet; and Willie Lafavor, piano).
You're invited to hear this music on Live from Hochstein on Wednesday, November 6th, at 12:10pm, in person at the Hochstein Performance Hall (50 N. Plymouth Avenue, downtown Rochester) or by listening to the live broadcast on WXXI Classical.
A finalist for the 2016 Chamber Music Performance professional division of The American Prize competition, the Telos Trio are active performers who collaborate across disciplines. Their work features innovative partnerships, such as a collaboration with composer Gwyneth Walker in 2017 to perform the world premiere of her “Equality Now!” They joined together with the National Women’s Rights Museum, the Susan B. Anthony House and Museum, and The Hochstein School to present musical celebrations of “Equality Now!” for the centennial of New York State women’s suffrage. All three are also instructors at Hochstein.
