About Vox Feminarum

Vox Feminarum is an organization that addresses the long-standing disparity between male and female composers in classical music and musical theater. Through a recent informal survey, we found that not one respondent named a female composer their favorite, underscoring the systemic gap in the recognition and promotion of women composers. This disparity in visibility and representation fuels our mission—to bridge the gap and ensure that the voices of women composers are celebrated on an equal footing with their male counterparts.

Our core focus is presenting original works by women composers in public concerts, providing them with a platform highlighting the diversity of their contributions across all musical forms. Vox Feminarum is committed to showcasing innovative compositions that celebrate vocal and instrumental music through opera, musical theater, song cycles, chamber music, or poetry. By emphasizing the transformative power of the human voice and the artistry of women across musical genres, we aim to reshape the classical music landscape and challenge the norms that have historically excluded women from gaining widespread recognition.

About Adam Tendler, piano

Adam Tendler is a recipient of the Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists and "currently the hottest pianist on the American contemporary classical scene" (Minneapolis Star Tribune), a "remarkable and insightful musician" (LA Times), and "relentlessly adventurous pianist" (Washington Post) "joyfully rocking out at his keyboard" (New York Times).

An internationally recognized interpreter of living, modern, and classical composers, and a pioneer of DIY culture in concert music, at age 23 Tendler performed solo recitals in all 50 states as part of a grassroots tour called America 88x50, the subject of his acclaimed memoir, 88x50.

He has gone on to become one of classical and contemporary music's most recognized and celebrated artists, appearing recently as soloist with the LA Philharmonic and on the main-stages of Carnegie Hall and Brooklyn Academy of Music.
