WMP performs outstanding works by two contemporary American composers. Joan Tower’s Fanfare for the Uncommon Women, No.1 contrasts with Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man. Tower’s Made in America celebrates America using fragments from America the Beautiful. Then explore the natural wonders of the Grand Tetons with Higdon’s All Things Majestic, an all-encompassing musical essay on these beautiful mountains. Higdon is the most performed modern American woman composer today. Finally, enjoy trombonist Adam Stokes performance of Tindle’s showcase Concerto for Bass Trombone and Orchestra. |
Don’t miss our season of Spotlight on Women Composers, our most adventurous season ever! According to a Baltimore Symphony Orchestra survey of the 22 largest American orchestras, women composers accounted for only 1.8 percent of the total works performed. This season the Washington Metropolitan Philharmonic will help redress that balance and “even the score.” As you can see from our 2018-19 program, 14 of the 16 works WMP performs are by women composers.
