ON SUNDAY, MARCH 17, Listen Local will present Agave, the GRAMMY-nominated Bay Area ensemble that specializes in string-music of the seventeenth through twentieth centuries, performing as string quartet featuring Katherine Kyme, Anna Washburn, Aaron Westman, and William Skeen. Their program will exclusively celebrate women composers – Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel, Dora Pejacevic, Claudia Rusca, Clara Schumann, Rosy Wertheim, Margaret Bonds, and Florence Price – inspired by their latest recording effort, AGAVE: In Her Hands. Listen Local is a new, free concert series showcasing the best of the Bay Area’s small ensemble musicians and soloists. The musical offering was developed in partnership by Classical California KDFC and InterMusic SF to serve Bay Area communities by connecting listeners to local musicians.

The hall has a jewel-box design and features dramatic windows, offering full-floor views of SF’s prized cultural beacons. Listen Local is only made possible through Classical California KDFC’s stead-fast commitment to Bay Area communities of listeners and artists. In partnership with InterMusic SF, Listen Local is a dedicated effort toward increasing access to world-class music for everyone. Many featured performers of the series are members of InterMusic SF’s Fiscal Sponsorship Program roster or have received funding through the InterMusic SF annual Musical Grant Program.
