Halloween comes early to Carnegie Hall. Things that go bump in the night have inspired composers for centuries, but American Composers Orchestra contemporizes the theme with mystifying, electrifying, and just plain scary music.

Mrs. President | Victoria Bond
Victoria Bond
In 19th century America, women didn’t have the right to vote, much less run for president. But in 1872, Victoria Woodhull did just that, and, much more recently, has inspired an opera based on her life. In the opera Mrs. President, composer Victoria Bond and librettist Hilary Bell have crafted a drama of ambition and betrayal, which tells the story of Woodhull’s visionary struggle to defy history and become the first female President of the United States.
