The Carr-Petrova Duo Performs “HERS,” an Evening of Music by Female Composers

January 29, 2024 – Sarasota

To commemorate Woman’s History Month in March, The Perlman Music Program Suncoast (PMP Suncoast) presents The Carr-Petrova Duo’s “HERS” in a special evening of music comprised entirely of works by female composers. Featuring violist and PMP alum Molly Carr, the newest member of the acclaimed Juilliard String Quartet, and Bulgarian educator and pianist Anna Petrova, the duo will premier their new album “HERS” in Sarasota.  This concert vibrantly celebrates the vision, strength, resilience, and vital contributions of the female sex throughout history. Through music and storytelling, the Carr-Petrova Duo will lead the audience through the inspirations, battles, and incredible accomplishments of eight fearless women – from the 12th century’s Hildegard Von Bingen to today’s Beyoncé – and share centuries of heartbreak, struggles, and triumphs that comprise the female experience. The concert is Sunday, March 3, at The Harvest, 3650 17th Street, Sarasota. The event begins with an artist talk at 6 p.m., followed by the concert at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased at PMPSuncoast.org.

Lisa Berger, the executive director of Perlman Suncoast, explains that the program will include works by Florence Price, Clara Schumann, Vivian Fung, Amy Beach, Beyoncé/Henrique Eisenmann, Andrea Casarrubios, Michelle Ross (violinist and PMP alum) and Rebecca Clarke.
