One of the most talented people on this, the planet Earth, who also happens to be my brother, @grahampatzner is raising funds to record an ambitious album. My @townquartet peeps and I are going to be assisting with the strings, and we’re super excited to be part of the project! Please donate if and what you can, and support high level local music. MUCH LOVE!!! #Bayareamusic #supportartists #supportthearts

Next weekend! We’re really going out on a limb to produce this concert ourselves and we NEED YOUR SUPPORT! Please show up and bring friends! Fanny Hensel’s music and story is absolutely crowd pleasing, but we need the crowd in the first place. I’m so proud of our work and I want nothing more than to share it with you! I hope to see you there! April 4 at noon at the historic Berkeley Piano Club 🎹 Link to info and tickets in @henselpushers bio #womencomposers #fannyhensel #chambermusic #classicalconcert #berkeley

Saturday April 4th at noon at the Berkeley Piano Club, Town Quartet performs music by Fanny Hensel, sharing a program with pianist, Monica Chew, and publisher/musicologist, Molly McCann, AKA Hensel Pushers. Do you like Mendelssohn’s music? His sister was equally gifted, but composed in a much more private capacity, constrained by the social conditions of her time. The heart of the program is her String Quartet, and the piece from which it is derived, her unfinished Piano Sonata. Rounding out the afternoon are 4 pieces arranged for string quartet, and a fascinating lecture component. We’d love to see you there! @townquartet @henselpushers @monica.m.chew @meesosoop @____toast @hansenjosephjacob @lewispatzner #berkeley #berkeleymusic #beyareamusic

One week from tomorrow, we are putting on my DREAM Fanny Hensel event in Berkeley. I’m so excited to be able to share the story of this composer and show the evolution and story behind Hensel’s string quartet. I’ll be sharing my original research including brand new revelations about the music. You won’t be able to find this anywhere else.

Fanny Hensel composed several Bach-inspired works, but when she was composing, performing Bach didn’t have the baggage it has today. So what’s the “right” way to perform her neo-Baroque music? @lewispatzner of @townquartet and @mollllllllllllllllly of @henselpushers discuss, ahead of their lecture-concert in #Berkeley on April 4 (info and tickets in @henselpushers bio) PS, since this conversation was recorded, Early Music Sources has posted a video on YouTube discussing the 1829 St. Matthew Passion revival which answers some of our questions! #bach #fannyhensel #fannymendelssohn #baroquemusic

We need to show major concert producers that programming music by women is not a commercial liability. That’s why it’s so important to show up when there’s a concert like this!

Fanny Hensel wrote in a much wider variety of styles than you usually hear from her and other Romantic women composers. Come to our concert on April 4 and hear her works that rarely get performed!
