Nano Operas: Concert Various

Approved

Fresh Squeezed Opera presents a concert of Nano Operas by women composers. Women have always been artist, but for centuries, women were systematically excluded from the records of history—their art being dismissed as unimportant, “craft”, and not elevated. Now, in the 21st century, we still see these trends happening, particularly in the field of opera. This exclusion is unacceptable. Fresh Squeezed Opera aims to put women on an equal level to men in the performance of operatic works, and celebrate the unique idioms and perspective that women composers offer in their works.

 

As Whitney George, composer/conductor says, “opportunities in the creative arts, but especially music, are skewed and tend to be male dominated fields, particularly positions in arts administration/executive directing, composition, and conducting. Gender equality in the arts may be many decades down the road, but by placing women in these prominent positions, we're able to provide an empowering framework for aspiring women in the field for future generations.”
