Feminine Fusion

April 12-19, 2019: Across The Pond

“If it means something, take it to heart.  If it means nothing, it’s nothing. Let it go.”  – Philippa Gregory

Let’s take a trip across the pond to hear music by women from the UK.  From music inspired by women’s right to vote, to works from the heart of Scotland, this is music heard in the concert hall – and in the streets.
