Astral Artists Presents Groundbreaking Female Artists

Hailed by the New York Sun for “her prodigious ability,” Natalia Kazaryan will perform works by groundbreaking female composers of the past three centuries: Clara Schumann, a distinguished pianist of the Romantic era; Amy Beach, the first American concert pianist; Lili Boulanger, the first female winner of the Prix de Rome composition prize; and Emma Lou Diemer, a keyboardist whose music combines nontraditional elements. Like Violet Oakley, these composers paved the way for future generations of women in their craft.
