Singers in the Lorelei Ensemble perform during the 2022 Nashville premiere of Julia Wolfe’s “Her Story."
And she didn’t. Wolfe’s “Her Story,” a Chicago Symphony co-commission to be performed at Orchestra Hall this coming weekend, leans on pre-suffrage texts by Abigail Adams and Sojourner Truth, plus snippets from contemporary press coverage of the movement.

That level of representation on a CSO subscription concert — all works by women, conducted by this country’s most visible female conductor — is practically unheard of at the institution.

Clyne was the CSO’s composer-in-residence from 2010 to 2015, in a shared appointment with Mason Bates.
