Femmes De Légende Event

To celebrate the work of Mel Bonis, LAM’s 2023-2024 Composer of the Year, LAM partners with Kentucky Shakespeare for an evening telling the story of seven “legendary women.” Female students and teachers will perform each movement of this cycle, and actresses from KY Shakespeare will perform monologues based on each mythical figure. We hope that this evening will call attention to Bonis, who unfairly fought against gender barriers in making her voice heard through music. Her story is not mythical, but perhaps in time, she too will be acknowledged as a “legendary woman.”

Location:
The event will take place in the south parlor of the Woman’s club. We hope to evoke the feeling of a salon in the early 20th century, where much of Bonis’ music would have been originally performed. Light refreshments will be served in the grand hall following the performance.
