Merion Concert Band presents...Women of Note


Women represent more than half of the world’s population. They make up around 40 percent of American employees classified as working musicians, singers, or those in related professions. Yet, women composers often represent less than 2 percent of programming scheduled by America’s largest orchestras. It’s time for that to change.


Join the Merion Concert Band as we celebrate female composers and their contributions to the concert band repertoire. In a performance jointly directed by Conductor Nathan Snyder and Assistant Conductor Ashley Smith, we pay long-neglected and well-deserved homage to women in music. The band will be joined by vocal soloist Julie Bishop for the four movement work, Image in Stone. From opera and marches to modern fanfares and beautiful ballads, come enjoy an afternoon of music featuring works by living female composers.


Program:
Early Light - Carolyn Bremer
Celebration Fanfare - Joan Tower (arr. Jack Stamp)
Women of the Podium - Virginia A. Allen
Image in Stone - Stephen McNeff
(Julie Bishop, vocal soloist)
One Life Beautiful - Julie Giroux
Maiden Voyage - Shirley Mier
Kokopelli - Anne McGinty
Journey Through Orion - Julie Giroux
