The Maud Powell Project The Maud Powell Project celebrates the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment and Women's Suffrage with five new works for solo violin inspired by and dedicated to violinist Maud Powell.

Both her life story and her virtuosic, relaxed, and seemingly flawless playing are fiercely inspiring to me. A major component of my creative practice is lifting up the voices and stories of women. To write a piece in honor of an exceptional historical violinist, which will be performed by an exceptional living violinist--and both of them women--is a thrilling and humbling opportunity." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0145f47088cf138a238682/1593934078076-MDSQZD84JHP6ZRB9IWK2/Stephanie%2BAnn%2BBoyd%2BBiography%2BPhoto.jpg The Maud Powell Project - Minnie for Solo Violin, Op. 65 "Writing for violinist Megan Healy and discovering the work of Maud Powell through the process has been a joy to my violinist heart - the pain of knowing that I lived most of my life without knowing Maud’s work is tempered, however, but the pleasure of having been able to spend a great deal of time with her biography and recordings while writing a piece that traces her interaction with and inspiration from the places in which she lived throughout her brief life. My deep thanks to Megan for bringing me in on this project and to everyone who has contributed efforts towards keeping Maud’s light alive and her work present all these years after she graced the earth with her wisdom, tenacity, and unimaginable musicianship." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0145f47088cf138a238682/1593934360298-OPMM6E66E1ESVD1OWUH8/jessicameyer-about-1030x686_orig.jpg The Maud Powell Project - MAUD “I am shocked, yet not surprised, to discover yet another strong, innovative, committed, and talented woman whom I have never heard about before that clearly played a key part in history. I never knew about Maud Powell until this commission, and upon reading about her it is clear that her work should be more readily recognized. With slogans that declared her having “The arm of a man, the heart of a woman, the head of an artist” at a time when women were just being allowed to vote, she made a conscious choice not to go down a more celebrated and lucrative path in Europe, and instead drew upon her pioneering family DNA to take her art into every corner of America possible.
