Celebrating Women’s History Month

This week, we celebrate women in composition and performance. Violinist Kyung-Wha Chung performs Berg’s Violin Concerto, led by Sir Georg Solti. Cellist Jacqueline Du Pré has the spotlight in Dvořák’s Silent Woods, led by Daniel Barenboim, who also conducts Ran’s Legends. The program also includes Pierre Boulez conducting Augusta Read Thomas’s … words of the sea … and Sir Georg Solti leading Strauss’ Four Last Songs, featuring soprano Lucia Popp. To open the broadcast, Riccardo Muti and the CSO present Jessie Montgomery’s Hymn for Everyone.
