Remember The Ladies
Commissioned by the Museum of the American Revolution for their 2020-2021 special exhibition When Women Lost the Vote: A Revolutionary Story, 1776-1807.
When acclaimed contemporary composer Dr. Melissa Dunphy heard that Abigail Adams’s famed “Remember the Ladies” letter would return to Philadelphia as part of the Museum of the American Revolutions’s When Women Lost the Vote: A Revolutionary Story, 1776-1807 special exhibition, she was inspired to interpret—through music—what Adams’s powerful words could mean for our current moment. “Remember the Ladies” sets excerpts from the letter for a cappella mixed chorus, premiered by the 40-voice community choir PhilHarmonia.
