“O’Donovan is in a league all her own—her harmonic and rhythmic inventions make for post-folk ear candy.”—Nashville Scene

“There’s a…march to the blossoming of her catalog and her artistry and it’s on full display on All My Friends.”—The Bluegrass Situation

“vocalist of unerring instinct”—New York Times

Multi-GRAMMY winner Aoife O’Donovan will perform songs from her new album All My Friends, a poignant celebration of democracy and womanhood. The album’s nine tracks are deeply inspired by the passage of the 19th Amendment and the evolving fight for women’s rights in America over the last century.

Co-curated by La Jolla Symphony and Chorus Artistic Director Sameer Patel, the concert will also honor the trailblazing voices of Florence Price and Ethel Smyth. Their powerful compositions echo through time, a testament to the strength and brilliance of women in classical music. The program will include Price’s “Calvary” from Five Folksongs and Smyth’s March of the Women. The evening concludes with “America, Come” from Aoife O’Donovan’s Age of Apathy album. The song cycle—inspired by the lives and letters of the Women’s Suffrage Movement in a musical exploration of voting rights for women during the 1920’s—is an unforgettable musical tapestry about the women heroes.

This concert is a stirring tribute to history, activism, and the power of music. Don’t miss it!
