Classically-trained concert pianist and cellist Sophie Lippert presents an engaging and empowering concert featuring music written by women from around the world.
The inspiring afternoon of music will feature a range of global music, all written by women – from traditional classical pieces, to turn-of-the-century jazz, to modern multicultural folk songs. The concert will include music by Emahoy Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou (Ethiopia), Karen Tanaka (Japan), Sarah Feigin (Israel), Valerie Capers (US), Lili Boulanger (France), and more. Stories from the lives of these remarkable women will be woven into the musical sets, making for a moving, uplifting, and connective afternoon. In addition to Sophie’s solo sets, there will be a guest artist appearance by Charlotte Malin, violin/viola, and the audience will be invited to participate in an engaging and joyful singalong. The concert will be suitable for all ages, and families are welcome.
Sophie Lippert is a musician, teacher, and creative entrepreneur. As a concert pianist, she has performed with the Seattle Symphony, Seattle Philharmonic, and Olympia Symphony, and numerous other musicians and ensembles. Over the past decade, she founded two event-based businesses in Portland, Oregon (Vibrant Studios and Connections Concert Series), ran an online membership program (The Connection Sessions), and released two albums: Time Travel and Seaside, which feature music by female composers. In 2022, she spent a year serving as All Classical Portland’s International Arts Correspondent while living in Tel Aviv, Israel.
