After spending two weeks at #1 on the classical billboard charts following the release in September, Lara Downes performs selections from her groundbreaking album, Holes in the Sky, with special guest and singer Alicia Hall Moran, and conversations with Brazilian composer Clarice Assad. This performance will celebrate the 200th anniversary of Clara Schumann and will weave the audience through history, from classical voices to Jazz. The concert will also feature works by Florence Price, Lil Hardin Armstrong, Billie Holliday, Lili Boulanger, Margaret Bonds, Mary Kouyoumdjian, Clarice Assad and other living women composers.

The performance will take place in the Kogod Cradle at Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater in Washington, D.C.

We encourage you to join us for the pre-concert talk at 6:15pm with Lara Downes, Alicia Hall Moran, and Clarice Assad.
