Voices
of Women
As
part of the celebration of National Women's History Month in
March 2004, the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony will join with other
California orchestras in a statewide salute to female composers
and conductors. This effort has been initiated by The Women's
Philharmonic in partnership with the Association of California
Symphony Orchestras. In support of this effort,
LAJS' renowned conductor and founder, Dr. Noreen Green (one
of California's few female conductors), will conduct a concert
of Jewish music featuring the works of five contemporary female
composers. The concert is part of the Symphony's
10 th anniversary celebration.
The
concert's repertoire will feature the works of six contemporary
female Jewish composers - Michelle
Green Willner, Maria Newman, Meira Warshauer.
Andrea
Clearfield, Sheli Nan, and Sharon Farber.
This
concert is sponsored by the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs
Department and USC Casden Institute for the Study of the Jewish
Role in American Life.
