"Rule Breakers" with Josh Halpern and Yannick Rafalimanana

Josh Halpern, the Cultural Caravan’s Artistic Director, and longtime collaborator Yannick Rafalimanana return to Boulder for “Rule Breakers,” a special program featuring works by three iconic women from music history: Nadia Boulanger, Rebecca Clarke, and Clara Schumann. All three rose to positions of global distinction as performers, composers, and teachers at a time when it was almost unheard of for women to participate in the music profession at all. We pair their music with works by men who benefited greatly from their influence, but ultimately overshadowed their female counterparts due to gender bias.
