Hearing Women’s Voices is an exploration of string quartets written by women in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The list of works includes string quartets by Amy Beach, Germaine Tailleferre, and Marion Bauer, among others. The aim is to bring these relatively unknown works to audiences through performances at Penn and elsewhere, and through the creation of benchmark recordings, increase the likelihood that they are performed more frequently in the future.
