Clara Schumann was a celebrated piano virtuoso, but she composed in an era when composition was considered a man’s job. Franz Schubert was only beginning to receive the public recognition when he died at the age of 31. George Antheil, John Cage, and Erik Satie each marched to their own beat, and the musical establishment made fun of them for it. Fortunately, all five left behind a treasure trove of works that lets us celebrate their rich artistic legacies today. Pianist Pedja Muzijevic weaves music and words into a program that crosses borders and styles and brings these overlooked artists and their stories back to life.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][toggles style=”minimal”][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”program details”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Chapter 1 C.
