No Ordinary Women

No Ordinary Women

Presented by Mistral at St Paul's Episcopal Church

The program vaults across centuries and styles: a violin fantasy by African American composer Florence Price; two trios by French composers Louise Farrenc and Melanie Bonis; a string quartet by famed German composer Fanny Mendelssohn; a song cycle by American composer Gwyneth Walker; and finally a haunting mixed ensemble work called Island Nocturnes by living composer Elizabeth Brown, whose music has been called “luminous, dreamlike, and hallucinatory.”

Florence B. Price: Fantasy for Violin and Piano
Louise Farrenc: Trio for flute, cello, piano part below
Fanny Mendelssohn: String Quartet in Eb major 
Gwyneth Walker: No Ordinary Women (poetry by Lucille Clifton) 
Melanie Bonis: Scenes from the Forest Op. 123
Elizabeth Brown: Island Nocturnes for flute, piano, horn, cello, viola, violin.

Three dynamic artists will be making their Mistral debuts: cellist Christine Lamprea, soprano Simone Paulwell, and BSO horn player Rachel Childers. The all-women roster is rounded out by Mistral favorites - violinist Sarita Kwok, violist Stephanie Fong, and pianist Sophie Scolnik-Brower - and artistic director and flutist Julie Scolnik.
