Vox femina - The Woman's Voice, presents works that reflect ideas and images of particular women but have a universal view. Regina Baiocchi's pieces, Nourish, Things Change, and I've Got a Mother, reflect African American culture and traditions. Kyong Mee Choi's video, Quietly, is based on a poem by the composer on the death of her father. Janice Misurell-Mitchell's O Sapientia, for flute/alto flute and electronics uses a recording of the antiphon by Hildegard von Bingen to reflect on humanity's loss of wisdom. Patricia Morehead's Altered Reality,for oboe, bass oboe, and electronics uses visual images created by her late sister, Sheryl Ann Noonan, a talented painter and sculptor. Her piece will also feature Alex Klein, former principal oboe in the Chicago Symphony. Ester Hana's piece, Untitled is brings a jazz inflection to our program. Our guest composer Africa Brown presents an upbeat celebration of womanhood through song and percussive dance.
