These remarkable musicians have brought this uncommon combination of instruments into the international spotlight by reviving standards and by commissioning new music. Their varied and eclectic repertoire is reflected in wonderfully imaginative programming. Works by contemporary composers from the US and Canada – Schoenfield and Gilbert – rub shoulders with Stravinsky, Khachaturian, Bartok and Shostakovich as well as Piazzolla, to reveal a fascinating journey through the music of the Women’s Musical Club of Toronto’s history.
