Her thoughtfully curated programs celebrate the pioneering roles of women composers and artists in classical music. In Women Pioneers, Hu explores the rich legacy of women composers from the early 19th century to today. The program features Fanny Mendelssohn—who musical ambitions were once dismissed as “ornament”—alongside works by Jennifer Higdon, Gabriela Lena Frank, and Unsuk Chin, three of today’s most in-demand composers. With contrasting forms, styles, and influences, Women Pioneers offers fascinating connections and fresh perspectives on the vital contributions of women in Western music history.
