RSC present their debut in New York City at Spectrum, Brooklyn, with a show calling on the strength of the contemporary woman. The 75-minute show will feature music by Joan Tower, Steve Reich, Augusta Read Thomas, and Julia Wolfe, as well as original arrangements from music by Thea Musgrave, Maurice Ravel, Eve Beglarian, and the Beatles. All of these pieces reflect on the influence a woman has on the world around her – as well as the way the world influences her. UM Stamps alumna Abby Clemens will be producing several animated shorts to accompany the music and tell a growing story throughout the night.
