The young Ruth Crawford (before she married Charles Seeger) was a highly original artist whose visionary modernist works eventually drew admiration from a new generation of American composers. In this illustrated event, pianist Christina McMaster performs some of Crawford’s fascinating piano music and explores her short but intensely creative life.

McMaster will then join Crawford’s daughter, Peggy Seeger, for a special evening concert. Tickets for this separate event can be purchased here: ‘Peggy Seeger: Songs My Mother Taught Me.’
