June 18, 2016: Intermountain Classics explores all the wealth and wonder of music being contributed by women, both as composers and performers! From the latin chants of Hildegard von Bingen, to Amy Beach, Jennifer Higdon, and Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir, tonight will feature interesting, fascinating and unusual music treats. A special feature will be a performance of Charles Davidson’s “I Never Saw Another Butterfly”, based on poems written by children held in Nazi concentration camps during World War II.
