Concert: Russian Women Composers, April 7

[Sibelan E S Forrester]

Most esteemed SEELANzhane,

A wonderful event for anyone who can get to the Philadelphia area on April 7.

The Museum of the American Philosophical Society presents in concert:

TALISMAN
Russian Women Composers from the Court of Catherine the Great
Friday, April 7
8:00 p.m.

The Museum of the American Philosophical Society, in conjunction with 
the exhibition "The Princess and the Patriot" (17 February-31 
December 2006), invites you to an evening of music composed by 
Russian princesses, performed by the award-winning ensemble Talisman.

Anne Harley, Oleg Timofeyev and Barbara Poeschl-Edrich weave history 
and music together in a dynamic program of Russian music and readings 
from the composers' own memoirs.  Talisman revives the music of these 
forgotten female composers, including Princess Ekaterina Dashkova, 
the first female Member of the American Philosophical Society.  Their 
performance is steeped in Russian culture and history and 
incorporates the Russian seven-string guitar, harp, and vocals in 
Russian, French and Italian.

Concert:  Friday, April 7th, 8:00 p.m., followed by a panel discussion
Benjamin Franklin Hall
427 Chestnut Street (North side of street)

You are also welcome to visit the museum's exhibit "The Princess and 
the Patriot" during special pre-concert hours, 5:00-7:30 p.m., in
