Featuring members of the Nazareth University music faculty and celebrating the artistry of women composers during the Women in Music Festival. 

Featuring Annette Farrington, flute; Colleen Wolf, horn; Ryan Hardcastle, viola; Yi-Wen Chang, piano; Bonnie Choi, piano; and Jacob Ertl, piano.

This program highlights Women Composers of La Belle Époque, including works by composers such as Cécile Chaminade, Mel Bonis, and Le Beau. During the Belle Époque (late 1800s/early 1900s), 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.

This concert is part of the Women in Music Festival at Nazareth University and Buffalo State University. The festival includes concerts and panel discussions, all of which serve as a catalyst for purposeful dialogue, future collaborations, and engaging performances for our community.

Featuring: Annie Jacobs-Perkins, cello.

Praised for her “hypnotic lyricism, causing listeners to forget where they were for a moment” (Alex Ross, The New Yorker), Hochstein alum Annie Jacobs-Perkins returns to Rochester for a solo concert.

The program includes selections from Sept Papillons by the Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho in which she searches for something ephemeral and fleeting, hunts for a new world. Originally written for the viola da gamba, Les Voix Humaines by the French Baroque-era composer Marin Marais features music that mimics the sound of the human voice. Benjamin Britten wrote his Cello Suite No. 3 for Mstislav Rostropovich, a backwards theme and variations with themes based on Russian folk songs and a hymn that appears at the very end.

Annie is the Artist-in-Residence of the Austin Chamber Music Center in Texas as well as the cellist of the acclaimed Berlin-based ensemble Trio Brontë. Annie regularly participates in international festivals, with performances in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, Konzerthaus Berlin, The Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and London’s Wigmore Hall. She is a graduate of Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler, New England Conservatory, and the University of Southern California. At Hochstein, she studied with Kathy Kemp.
