Seasons of the Witch: Honoring Women & The Stories They Inspire, featuring the world premiere of a set of songs by CMC Composer, Fiona Linnane.
Soprano Mandy Brown and pianist Tatiana Loisha will open the 2024/25 In the Stacks Concert Series with a captivating performance exploring the history of witchcraft and persecution of women labeled as witches.
Drawing inspiration from historic and rare books about witchcraft and herbalism at the George Peabody Library—on display for one night only—the program will trace the evolution of witch stereotypes and reconcile these inaccuracies with true stories of women who were often healers and sages.
Enjoy an evening of music, history, and rare books in one of the world's most beautiful libraries!
