LOLA presents “The ERA Project”, a new set of songs for soprano and piano composed by Rain Nox with texts by Maureen Broy Papovich. This concert presentation features Maureen Broy Popovich, soprano and Jeanne Sasaki, pianist with performances by special guests VAMP

Ms Papovich was inspired to write about the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) by her grandmother, Cecil Norton Broy (1890-1977) who worked beside Alice Paul as the Political Chair Person of the National Women’s Party for 25 years. This set of six songs explores the history of the ERA, the National Women’s Party, the contributions of Ms. Papovich’s grandmother, and provides reflections about the women’s movement today. Along with the music, Ms. Papovich will present a short lecture and slideshow about the subject. Ms. Papovich and Ms. Nox hope to bring attention to this important and ongoing fight for equality in the Constitution through the ERA. The ERA Project combines beautiful music with inspiring and though-provoking content.

*Artwork from Artists 4 ERA will be on display during these events.

Tickets are $0 - $25
