CORRECTION;  The version below has been corrected to read the concert is on Saturday, Nov. 2nd

The Wenatchee Valley Symphony Orchestra (WVSO) will highlight rarely performed composers in the second concert of the 2024-25 season.

The concert Vox Femina on Saturday evening, Nov. 2nd  starts at 7pm in Numerica Performing Arts Center.  The program is a celebration of the important work of female composers and artists.

Symphony Musical Director and Conductor Nik Caoilie came up with the theme after learning orchestras around the world are rarely performing the works of female composers.  Just 7.7% of the more than 20,000 compositions programmed by 111 orchestras worldwide in 2023-24 were written by women, according to Caoilie.
