In honor of Women's History Month, we showcase three modern-day musical heroines. Guest conductor Gemma New, highly sought-after for her insightful interpretations and dynamic presence, begins this program with Katherine Balch’s intricately colorful like a broken clock. Virtuoso Jennifer Frautschi, hailed as a violinist of “staggering energy and finesse,” seizes the stage with Saint-Saëns’ passionate Concerto No. 3, a lushly Romantic work weaving French nuance, subtlety and delicacy with Spanish swagger and flair. Beethoven’s cherished Symphony No. 6, Pastorale, joyously sketches nature in all its mercurial delight from babbling brooks to thunderstorms and country dances.

"whipping up and down the scale in a frenzy – here frantic, there ecstatic – Frautschi conjured a character of immense complexity." – The Austin Chronicle
