Upcoming Performances
Complex Conversations: Music of Undine Smith Moore
Saturday, October 17 at 7pm
"Complex Conversations: Women Who Have Strategically Compromised In Order To Succeed"
Using the music of Undine Smith Moore (the "Dean of Black American Women Composers") as our touchstone, we will facilitate a discussion of the various institutionalized obstacles that women creatives across all artistic disciplines have faced (and continue to face) in order to bring their work to the public sphere.
This event will feature MO performing artists Caroline Pittman (flute) and Veronica Kolegas (cello) as well as guest moderator Tim Rhoze (Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre director) and a two-person panel of female artists to provide context for our conversation.
This event is free and open to the public with a reserved ticket.
