Mine Be the Lips: Songs by Women Composers Past and Present
October 24, 2025 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Mine Be The Lips features Vira Slywotzky, an amazing contralto and Cambridge-native, and pianist David Sytkowski in a musical celebration. Through song and spoken word, they amplify women’s voices in the fight for freedom through time across the globe, including the United States and other countries.
This carefully curated program, which has been performed in Paris, France and New York City, celebrates freedom and the diverse output of female composers of the past who have been overlooked and under-programmed because of their gender and the works of innovative female composers of the present. The songs have been selected both for their beauty and for their power to transport listeners. It features music and words by Maria Szymanowska, Silvia Filus, Poldowski, Amy Beach, Stefania Turkewich, Sheila Silver, Vivian Fung, Lori Laitman, Emily Dickinson, and others. The cabaret-style program will feature American, Chinese, French, Persian, and Ukrainian songs.
The event is appropriate for freedom-loving people of all-ages who are culturally curious. This is the must-see Boston-area’s premier performance!
