CLOSE ENCOUNTERS

CONCERT ONE: We Too–1000 Years of Music by Women

Sunday, November 11, 2018   3:00 p.m.

Restored Herrick Mews carriage house, Cleveland Heights

PROGRAM

Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179)
‘O Virtus Sapientiæ’ arr. for string quartet by Marianne Pfau

Joan Tower (b.1938) ‘String Force’ for Violin Solo

Fanny Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1805–1847) String Quartet in E-Flat Major

We Too presents works by women spanning 1000 years: from St. Hildegard von Bingen, famed medieval Abbess, philosopher, visionary and composer to one of today’s most talented stars, Caroline Shaw, 2013 Pulitzer Prize winner. Also featured is a fiery string quartet by the tragically underrated Fanny Mendelssohn (you’ll decide whether she was perhaps even more original than her brother Felix?) and a solo violin work by the inspirational American composer Joan Tower.
