For the second Festival concert, guest conductor Candillari leads the Festival Orchestra in works by all-female composers, presenting a palette of compositions that both illuminate and embolden. Rene Orth's Chasing Light spotlights the courage required to outrun our shadows, while Stacy Garrop's world premiere, featuring baritone Sidney Outlaw and soprano Michelle Areyzaga, explores Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony's dynamic and complex friendship. Aleksandra Vrebalov's This Kiss for the Whole World represents love and solidarity despite hardship, and Julia Wolfe's Pretty upends and refracts society's complicated conception of feminine beauty.
