If the Shoe Fits: Red Stiletto

Rainbow City Orchestra in their debut performance presents an evening of music "In Heels." The concert features works challenging our understanding of what is feminine and celebrates the work of BIPOC, LGBTQ, and female artists of the 20th and 21st Centuries.

The concert theme was inspired by Brazilian composer Arthur Barbosa's Scarpin Suite for string orchestra, which will be performed on this evening alongside Mari Esabel Valverde's her first snow and the world premiere performance of Barbara Harbach's Visions of Hildegard, a reflection on the music of one of the first known female music composers in history: Saint Hildegard of Bingen.

About Rainbow City Orchestra

Rainbow City Orchestra welcomes members of all abilities, backgrounds, and identities. We are brought together for a shared space of support and growth to play music for a different purpose than most orchestras. Our concerts a filled with music to highlight and celebrate marginalized artists and identities while sharing our performances with artists that represent, uplift, and excite LGBTQIA+ communities. We're growing to include many members who have not felt accepted in their identity in other groups, or who wish to play more diverse styles of music. Allies are also welcome and we are all one family together that spans identity, race, and class distinction.
