Following the performance, there will be a discussion led by music scholar Judith Lochhead and composer Menon Dwarka, offering insights into the works performed and the stories of the composers. This dialogue aims to deepen the audience's understanding and appreciation of the music and its historical context.

The event is presented in partnership with Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning, ensuring an enriching experience for all attendees. A reception will follow the discussion, providing an opportunity for attendees to mingle and reflect on the evening's offerings.

Artists performing include Philip Setzer on violin, Brian Anderson on viola, Andrew Cannestra on piano, among other talented musicians and MMF Young Artists, making this a showcase of both established and emerging talents in the classical music scene.

Don't miss this unique blend of performance and discussion, set against the backdrop of the scenic Southern Vermont Arts Center. Buy your tickets now for an evening of meaningful music and conversation.

Aaron Copland made four highly publicized government-sponsored trips to Latin America between 1941 and 1963. During these visits, he shared contemporary American concert music with Latin American audiences, including his own violin sonata, heard on tonight’s program. Back home, he drew US attention to the composers and musicians he met in Latin America, such as Heitor Villa-Lobos of Brazil and Silvestre Revueltas and Manuel Ponce of Mexico, all whom Copland knew personally and whose works are also featured. Another contemporary of Copland was the Black American composer William Grant Still, whose Panamanian Dances were inspired by a collection of Latin American folk songs. The history of Pan-American musical exchange predates Copland.

South African soprano Golda Schultz has been gracing the stage of the world’s greatest opera houses—from the Metropolitan Opera to the Vienna State Opera. Equally at home in leading operatic roles as she is as a soloist with the world’s foremost orchestras and in the most venerated recital halls, she has quickly become a leading voice in a new generation of star singers. For her Princeton University Concerts debut, she brings the extraordinary warmth of her voice to a program hailed as “a love-letter to women in music” exploring themes of love, nature, folklore and belief from a distinctly female perspective. Discussing the program’s curation, she shares: “Emilie Mayer, whose music was never recorded, was a genius on the level with Beethoven, but she was forgotten the day after she died in 1883. Nadia Boulanger became one of the greatest pedagogues with a touch that defined American culture. Even when we forget these women, what they’ve done still remains.”
