Opus Chamber Music Series - Anita Fetsch Felix & Miles Graber

With their skilled and passionate musicianship, violinist Anita Fetsch Felix and pianist Miles Graber perform music by women composers who created great works despite the cultural barriers to women in in the 19th Century. These composers include Clara Schumann, who sacrificed her own musical career in deference to her husband's career, and Fanny Mendelssohn, who, despite her prodigious talent, was given less support for her musical endeavors than was her famous brother Felix. They will also perform works by Maria Grandval, a French Romantic composer who achieved fame by publishing music under a male pseudonym.
