Ashland concert celebrates women composers spanning over 1,000 years
Ashland, Oregon—On March 12 at the SOU Music Recital Hall, Ashland-based nonprofit Anima Mundi Productions will present the professional all-female vocal ensemble In Mulieribus. As their name describes—In Mulieribus is Latin for “among women”—the group is dedicated to strengthening community through the art of music, often focusing on repertoire by female composers and for women’s voices. They will be joined by popular Ashland pianist Jodi French.
Oregon ArtsWatch has called them “One of Oregon’s premier ensembles at the top of their form” and has stated “The women of In Mulieribus do more than sing choral works; they bring them to life.”
This special program, called Among Sisters, features over 1,000 years of music written by women, starting in the 9th century with Greek composer Kassiani and culminating in the world premiere of a new work by Dr. Anna Song featuring poetry by Rogue Valley poet Tiziana DellaRovere.
According to DellaRovere, “women’s voices have been silenced or hidden under male pseudonyms. As a result, we’ve all suffered a collective wound. In the spirit of healing and restoring our humanity, this concert is dedicated to celebrating remarkable women creators and performers.”
