Bold, brilliant women in chamber music.Join the Streeton Trio for a powerful and inspiring evening celebrating the brilliance and resilience of
women in music. This program shines a light on four extraordinary female composers who defied

masterpiece that rivals the works of her famous brother, Felix. Despite societal barriers, Fanny composed
over 400 works, proving that talent knows no gender.
Kelly-Marie Murphy’s Give Me Phoenix Wings to Fly (Canada) soars with fiery intensity and breathtaking
virtuosity, symbolizing rebirth and transformation—a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin’s Spirit and the Maiden blends haunting beauty with raw energy,
drawing inspiration from folklore to tell a story of courage and resilience.
Clara Schumann’s Trio in G minor, Op. 17 (Germany) is testament to the child prodigy turned musical
trailblazer. Clara balanced motherhood and a legendary career to create an enduring legacy as one of
history’s greatest musicians.
