Ars Nova Workshop (ANW) will present “Le poeme de la femme,” a five-program concert series intended to explore issues of gender, ethnicity, history, contemporary politics, and experimental musical practices. “Le poeme de la femme” will showcase divergent musical traditions and provide independent female voices with a forum for cultural discourse. The series will feature the Susie Ibarra Ensemble, the Marilyn Crispell Trio, Jenny Scheinman’s Ensemble, the Min Xio-Fen Trio, and the Zeena Parkins Trio performing improvised as well as composed works.
Founded in 2000, Ars Nova Workshop seeks to inform, inspire, and challenge listeners while elevating the role of jazz and experimental music in contemporary culture. Fervently upholding the jazz/Free Jazz continuums by supporting its musicians, composers, and improvisers, ANW events are a forum for discourse and new trends in contemporary music theories and practices. http://www.arsnovaworkshop.com/
