On the occasion of International Women’s Day 2021 on March 08, the Austrian Cultural Forum Warsaw focuses on the diverse work of female composers. Together with Vienna-based pianist Alfredo Ovalles, we invite you to an exclusive online recital featuring works by Julia Purgina from Austria, Katarina Glowicka from Poland and Hilda Paredes from Mexico. Each of the three pieces represents a different look at the pianistic tradition: Hilda Paredes uses elements of traditional music in her Recordando a Celia, Julia Purgina’s 4 Intermezzi draw on the classical tradition, while Katarina Głowicka undertakes a sonic deconstruction of the piano in Sun Spot. The concert for International Women’s Day 2021 marks the beginning of a concert series dedicated to women composers by the Austrian Cultural Forum in Warsaw.
