Heralds: A Symphony of Women's Voices Auguring Change

Saturday, 29 Apr 2023 at 7:30 pm – Simon Estes Music Hall

The ISU Symphony Orchestra and Artistic announces Symphony of Diversity 2023: Heralds: A Symphony of Women’s Voices Auguring Change.” The 2023 concert boldly tackles the societal issue of violence against women through a free public symposium, hosted by the Ames Public Library on Friday, April 28 at 4pm, and a free orchestral performance on Saturday, April 29 at 7:30pm at Simon Estes Music Hall, Iowa State University.

The public symposium, to begin with a short musical performance, will bring together three influential: world-famous violinist Lara St. John, whose successful campaign to hold the Curtis Institute accountable for her assault when she was a student there made international headlines; Rebecca Stienstra, a senior policy analyst from the Canadian Ministry of Women and Gender Equity; and Assistant Chief Carrie Jacobs of the Iowa State University Police Department. The moderated panel discussion at the Ames Public Library auditorium will focus on the prevention of violence against women and holding institutions accountable.

NOTE: This event will not offer card scanning for extra credit.
