The Week in Arts // Classical Music: Two Concerts, Five Female Composers

If you time your evening right on Tuesday, you could hear a couple hours of superb music composed by women — more than some classical music organizations program in their entire season. Start off at Temple Emanu-El, where the Naumburg Orchestral Concerts are being held this summer, for a free concert by the Orchestra of St. Luke’s. It’s an all-American program with the usual chestnuts by Barber and Copland, but also Anna Clyne’s rapturous double-violin concerto “Prince of Clouds,” and a set of songs by Florence Price. Then head west, directly through Central Park, for one of Mostly Mozart’s “A Little Night Music” events at Lincoln Center’s Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse. The soprano Susanna Phillips and the pianist Myra Huang will present a late-night performance devoted to 19th-century lieder by three composers who were unjustly overshadowed by their brothers or husbands: Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, Alma Mahler, and Clara Schumann.
