Philomusica presents a set of Marian-themed concerts exploring a story of female empowerment. The performances will feature a range of settings of the Ave Maria hymn text by Rachmaninoff, Pärt, Hurd, and more, paired with works that celebrate female strength and agency by Andrea Ramsey, Rosephanye Powell, and Elaine Hagenberg. We are also looking forward to collaborating with our dear friends in Cantabile Chamber Chorale (directed by Rebecca Scott) for a joint performance and a guest set by Cantabile.
