SUMMARY:Forgotten Voices: The Courageous Women Behind the Music (at Baker Free Library)
DESCRIPTION:Join contralto Melissa Elsman and pianist Kathryn Southworth in celebrating the remarkable contributions of three extraordinary women composers of the 19th and 20th centuries: Clara Schumann\, Pauline Viardot\, and Amy Beach. During their lifetimes\, these women made a profound impact on the musical world\, earning admiration for their artistry and innovation. However\, despite their achievements\, their works have often been unfairly overlooked in the canon of classical music. Through captivating songs and compelling stories about their lives\, this program sheds light on the challenges these women faced\, the courage it took to create music in an era that often silenced their voices\, and the lasting legacy they left behind. \nThis performance will be held at 6:30 on Monday\, September 29\, 2025 at the Baker Free Library (Bow\, NH). It is part of CCMS’s Concord Classical Concerts series. The event is free and open to the public\, thanks in part to the generosity of the Ellen Downing Waite and Edward Osgood Waite Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. \n  \nPERFORMERS: \nMelissa Elsman (CCMS voice department) is a classical singer and music educator who holds a B.M. in Vocal Performance from The Boston Conservatory and an M.M. in Vocal Performance from Chicago College of Performing Arts.
