Happy birthday, Susan B. Anthony who was born on this date 200 years ago. On Thursday composer Tania León received an ovation after the World Premiere of “Stride,” commissioned by the Philharmonic as part of Project 19, celebrating the centennial of the 19th Amendment. León dedicated “Stride” “In honor of Susan B. Anthony.” “I read her biography, her statements. To me it was tremendous to see the inner force that she had. Then I started looking for a title before starting the piece — not the way I always do it. [It reflected] the way that I imagined her as a person who did not take ‘no’ for an answer. She kept pushing and pushing and moving forward, walking with firm steps until she got the whole thing done. That is precisely what ‘Stride’ means. Something that is moving forward.” #nyphil #nyphilharmonic #orchestra #tanialeon #project19nyp 📷: @chrisleephotonyc #chrisleephoto (at New York Philharmonic) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8nOngpBRkc/?igshid=oqcjcssccjjw
