From the venue:
Celebrate Women’s History Month and the women of classical music. Opening the concert is Louise Farrenc’s Overture No. 2. and Strum by living composer Jessie Montgomery. These works build up to an exciting performance of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Sheherazade. Based on the female character of the same name in the Middle Eastern tale 1,001 Nights, this piece tells the story of Scheherazade’s cunning ability to avoid death at the hands of the Sultan Shahriar.
