With a plethora of world and U.S. premieres to our name, our ensemble passionately performs works that embody the essence of today's musical innovation while paying homage to the overlooked gems of long-established composers who paved the way for women in music.

This unforgettable evening will witness the world premiere of Lily of the Valley, an ethereal beauty by the incomparable Patricia Lopes, and the soul-stirring Exilios, masterfully woven by the brilliant Gabriela Ortiz. Both pieces, exquisitely designed for flute and string quartet, will transport you to a realm of pure sonic enchantment.

In partnership with the esteemed International Alliance for Women in Music, LunART is thrilled to introduce Madison audiences to two extraordinary works that exemplify the essence of musical brilliance. Behold the spellbinding A Strange Magic, a mesmerizing quartet composed by Judith Lang Zaimont, and be enthralled by the rare delight of Flashpoint, a hauntingly evocative solo piece for the bass flute, meticulously crafted by Linda Dusman.
