Our celebration of Women’s History Month continues with a special edition of Extra Eclectic, curated by 2024 YourClassical Fellow and professional cellist Audrey Q. Snyder. An advocate for the music of contemporary female composers, she has chosen a wide variety of selections that push the boundaries of the genre, including pieces by Missy Mazzoli, Franghiz Ali-Zadeh, Samantha Fernando, Chen Yi and more. This program truly pushes the envelope — listen now!
