The National Gallery of Art Presents Pianist Sarah Cahill in The Future is Female
The National Gallery of Art presents pianist Sarah Cahill, described as “a sterling pianist and an intrepid illuminator of the classical avant-garde” by The New York Times, in two, 2-hour performances of music from her project The Future is Female from 12:00-2:00pm and 2:45-4:45pm in the National Gallery’s West Building, marking International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month. The performances are free and open to the public.
The Future is Female, which Cahill started working on in 2018, is an investigation and reframing of the piano literature featuring more than seventy compositions by women around the globe, from the Baroque to the present day. Cahill has performed music from the project across the country as well as in London at the Barbican Centre. The third volume of her The Future is Female series of albums for First Hand Records will be released in April 2023. BBC Music Magazine wrote of the series, “American pianist [Sarah Cahill] takes us on a chronological journey that zips around the world, stitching together contrasting styles into an enjoyable musical patchwork.”
At the National Gallery of Art, Cahill will perform music from the project spanning from the 1600s to 2022 by composers including Élisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre, Regina Harris Baiocchi, Margaret Bonds, Teresa Carreño, Fanny Mendelssohn, Hélène de Montgeroult, Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou, Clara Schumann, Arlene Sierra, Mary D Watkins, Theresa Wong, and many more.
