Mary Lyon Concert: Of Hope and Courage

Mary Lyon Concert: Of Hope and Courage

Saturday, January 21, 4:00pm at the Unitarian Church of Evanston (1330 Ridge Ave, Evanston)

Join the Mount Holyoke Symphony Orchestra as it travels from South Hadley, MA on a Midwestern tour celebrating works of women throughout history. Featuring the music of alumna Karen LeFrak '69, the often overlooked contributions of Louise Farrenc to the French Romantic period, and Nkeiru Okoye's probing new monodrama, and ever more popular songs of Harriet Tubman featuring soloists Synthia Pullum, soprano and Damian Norfleet, baritone. This invigorating performance, conducted by Ng Tian Hui, threads together themes of diversity, unity, and freedom.

Sponsored by the Mount Holyoke Club of Chicago, Women's Philharmonic Advocacy, and the Music Department of Mount Holyoke College.

Tickets for Mount Holyoke alumnae range from $15 to $40.
All students: $5
