Inspired by adventurous women, musicians Lynn Bechtold, Milica Paranosic, and Keve Wilson preside over a whole-evening event of video installation and music. NYC artist Cecilia Mandrile will create a special Ladies First award and the winner will be announced during the reception.
Reception and after-party are sponsored by Trader Joe’s, Orwasher’s Bakery, Pain D’Avignon, Chez Jacqueline, Kafana, and Balls Vodka. Jewelry is provided by Sequin Jewelry and the projection design is created by Ian D Donald. Additional support is provided by Gallery MC.
The evening unfolds in three parts–
7- 8PM Opening Reception and Video Installation, comprised of short personal interviews by women whose works have made a significant contribution to cultural life. The interviews present notable women of all fields, including composer Gloria Coates, Sing for Hope founders Camille Zamora and Monica Yunus, Micalea Ferreira of ARTErra - residências rurais artísticas, Lara Land of Land Yoga, photographer Theresa Ortolani, award-winning author of the Storylines Project Neela Vaswani, and others. Many of the women who were interviewed for the installation will be in attendance at the event.
8 - 9:30PM Chamber Music Concert, performed by many of the composers and some of New York's most in-demand chamber musicians, including Keve Wilson (oboe), Lynn Bechtold (violin), Irina Chirkova (cello), Taka Kigawa (piano), and Dan Barrett (cello). The program offers world premieres of works by Juilliard composer Milica Paranosic and multi-faceted Gene Pritsker, as well as compositions by Ms. Bechtold, Peter Breiner, Dan Cooper, Patrick Grant, and Alvin Lucier. Arrangements of music by Alma Mahler and Vitezslava Kapralova, and threads of Czech/NYC composer Antonin Dvořák’s themes round out the evening.
9:30 -11PM After-Party, offering an opportunity for the audience to meet the artists as well as the women that participated in the video installation.
