In this episode (pgm 8) of Performance Upstate we hear from two concerts celebrating women. The Geneva Music Festival brings selections from "Women Composers Across the Ages" and Pegasus Early Music presents selections from "Nevertheless, She Persisted," music by and about strong women, celebrating the 200th anniversary of Susan B. Anthony’s birth and the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. We'll also hear from the Dorian Wind Quintet, Musica Spei and members of the Society for Chamber Music Rochester.
