Details
The Cabrillo Festival presents Grammy Award-nominated violinist Philippe Quint’s "The Muse", a chamber recital. "The Muse" leads the audience through masterpieces by glass-ceiling-shattering composers such as Ethel Smyth and Nadia Boulanger. These women transformed classical music in their time, while also acting as mentors and educators – well beyond the usual definition of “muse.” A deeply personal journey, "The Muse" culminates in contemporary work by Quint’s mother, the celebrated composer Lora Kvint, and also presents works from today’s preeminent female composers, including Lera Auerbach, Vivian Fung, and Errollyn Wallen, with poetry by Anne Finch.
