Present Music has always looked for new composers’ work to perform, new venues to perform in and new frameworks for appreciating (and enjoying) contemporary music. With “Women in the Chamber,” the Milwaukee ensemble brings a program of music by 10 living women composers to intimate venues. “The variety of the music is extremely wide and I would defy anyone to do a blind listen and be able to detect whether the music was by a man or a women,” says Present Music’s Artistic Director Kevin Stalheim. For tickets, call 414-271-0711 (ext. 2) or visit presentmusic.org.
