HERStory is a concert celebrating female composers and female historical figures who paved the way. From voting rights to civil rights to science discovery, audiences will explore the stories of key female figures such as Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, Jane Goodall, and Mae Carol Jemison. This concert integrates social studies standards and music standards as we take an interactive and musical journey through time.
