For this special broadcast we head down to just northeast of Atlanta to the private research institution that has been around since 1836, Emory University and a concert in the ‘Music at Emory’ series featuring the 5 musicians that make up The Merian Ensemble. Comprised of five women musicians from The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra - principal harp Elisabeth Remy Johnson, principal flute Christina Smith, oboist Emily Brebach, clarinetist Marci Gurnow and violist Jessica Oudin - the ensemble is dedicated to performing and commissioning works by women composers.
We’ll hear the concert they gave on March 22 called ‘Listen: Works by Women 2022 Journeys Home’ featuring music by both European & American composers from the
late 19th & early 20th centuries up to the present including a world premiere performance of a work by Welsh composer Lynnne Plowman.
