Fierce Females: Women in Art, Part IV
The revolutionary spirit of women artists continues to transform our understanding of what art can be and who gets to create it, from the neoclassical elegance of Angelica Kauffman’s mythological scenes to Yayoi Kusama’s mesmerizing infinity rooms that challenge our perception of space itself. This program celebrates the fearless creativity and determination of women who refused to be confined by expectations. Through exploring the diverse voices and groundbreaking techniques of these visionary women, we witness the ongoing revolution that refuses to let talent be silenced by tradition, helping to ensure that future generations inherit a more complete and inspiring vision of artistic greatness.

Entwyned – A Celtic Program
GIVE ME YOUR HAND: A CELTIC MUSICAL CELEBRATION
For centuries music played a central role in the cultures of Ireland and Scotland. And for centuries there were attempts to eradicate their music and instruments. Our program will highlight delightful selections from the Edward Bunting Collections, first published in 1796. Bunting traveled throughout Ireland to capture in written form traditional Irish music before it was forever lost. Entwyned will perform and describe the joyous, wistful, and rollicking music of the Celtic nations from Bunting and other historic sources, adapted to our instruments: Celtic harp, lutes, historic guitars, mandolin, Baroque flutes, and Viola da Gamba.

Note: this performance will run 3:30-4:45PM and includes a complimentary lecture on the history and culture of Ireland’s music.
Donations Welcome!

Performances are followed by a reception with refreshments.
