Hearing the Voices of Women with composer Jocelyn Hagen

Composer Jocelyn Hagen discusses her work Here I Am, which we’ll be performing at our concert on April 28th. Jocelyn also tackles the issues of representation of women in choral and sacred spaces, and the role of art in lifting up voices that have been historically excluded.
