Like so many other musical forms, the canon of counterpoint traditionally didn’t make room for women composers. This concert will challenge our definition and context of musical fugues by putting works by Irene Britton-Smith, Grazyna Bacewicz, Lera Auerbach, and Clara Wieck-Schumann alongside those of their male counterparts, such as Bach, Beethoven and Shostakovich.
