‘She Is…Her Story’ focuses on American women composers and how they use text and music to present their own version of “Frauenliebe und Leben: A Woman’s Love and Life.” This story tells of a woman’s own hopes, dreams, love, and partnerships through the many emotions that encompass our lives. Most of the poetry on this program is written by a woman including some of the most celebrated poets in history and others whose voices were marginalized and deserve a platform.
