Classical music and activism: Windsor’s official International Women’s Day 2019 event is not your typical concert

A Concert for Hope is a unique evening of chamber music composed and performed by women for flute and strings in benefit of The Welcome Centre Shelter for Women in Windsor and Warrior Women Against Poverty in Detroit. A cocktail reception by MIAM French Crêpes and Koolini Italian Eatery is included.   

A Concert for Hope arose out of Karen Smallwood and Nadine Deleury’s desire to celebrate music's tremendous power to create hope for a better world while raising funds for women’s charities.  A Concert for Hope is an official International Women’s Day Event and is one of only a handful of official events commemorating International Women’s Day 2019 in Canada.  It is the only official event in Windsor. This year’s theme is balance: to hope for and create a world that is more equitable for all. That theme is reflected in the balanced diversity of our musicians and composers.
