 is a concert of chamber music by contemporary women composers whose works respond to war, injustice, resilience, and the process of healing. This thoughtfully curated program brings together four powerful pieces that reflect a wide spectrum of artistic voices and lived experiences. Some are rooted in direct engagement with conflict or crisis, while others respond through observation, poetic metaphor, or imagined worlds. The concert will feature works by four current members of New York Women Composers (NYWC).
