Women Composers of La Belle Époque

Sunday, March 23, 2025, 3 p.m., Living Room

During the Belle Époque (1871–1914), women were often celebrated as performers—particularly in domestic settings—but faced significant barriers to being recognized as composers. Even when their music was performed in the fashionable salons, or published, it frequently fell into obscurity. In this program, faculty and students from Nazareth University's School of Music will highlight the works of women composers such as Cécile Chaminade, Lili Boulanger, Mel Bonis, Amy Beach, and others. 

Free to members; included with museum admission.
