Musical Arts Indiana aspires to transform and inspire audiences through music. We cultivate a diverse repertoire, multiple ensembles, and educational programs for adults and children. We believe that music enriches the lives of both performers and audience members alike. It’s our goal to promote multiculturalism throughout the organization. We strive to present something new, fresh and innovative through expansion of repertoire, collaborations with other arts organizations, and cultural outreach.
Much more than a concert of music composed by women, this performance highlights the valuable contributions of women in word and song as it has shaped and continues to shape our world and our social consciousness. Featuring works by Elaine Hagenberg, Jennifer Higdon, Libby Larsen, Alexandra Olsavsky, Sara Quartel, Joan Szymko, and Gwyneth Walker. The centerpiece of the program is the regional premiere of "Amendement: Righting Our Wrongs," a newly-commissioned work by Melissa Dunphy that celebrates the recent centennial of women’s suffrage and the ongoing struggle for justice and equality for all.
Welcome to another season of wonderful music from Musical Arts Indiana. MAI is pleased to be able to present great musical performances in the Michiana community, to lift up, inspire and transform lives through music.
