In this concert of music by female composers from the 9th century to the 21st, Zephyrus uncovers works unjustly neglected by history: by Kassia, Hildegard, Maddalena Cassulana, and Sulpitia Cesis. The program also features contemporary works by women, including the world premiere of a commissioned piece by local composer Judith Shatin, professor emerita of music at the
University of Virginia.
