About the event

This evening of music and stories, co-sponsored by Caltech Performing & Visual Arts and the Richard N. Merkin Center for Pure and Applied Mathematics, celebrates women composers for the piano over a 250-year period. You’ll get to know Élisabeth Claude Jacquet de La Guerre, a musician in the court of Louis XIV of France; Marianna Martines, a favorite duet partner of Mozart’s; Florence Price, the first African-American woman to gain widespread recognition as a composer; and other composers representing a variety of time periods, from when Bach was two years old to the early 20th century. Like women today, these composers struggled with sexism, with imposter syndrome, with being mothers who were also artists, and with gaining professional recognition. Yet they composed anyway. Prepare to be inspired!


Featuring a duet with Caltech Visiting Artist and award-winning flutist Dr. Hyesung Park.


FREE and open to the public. RSVPs strongly encouraged.
