Women’s Week at Sunset Center celebrates women in the arts, past and present.

OTHER EVENTS AT THE SUNSET CULTURAL CENTER FOR WOMEN’S WEEK celebrate women in music, kicking off with a celebration of women in country. The day after Anne Lamott’s appearance, the events culminate with the story of “the other Mozart.” That is Nannerl Mozart, a brilliant musician whose story has been relegated for centuries as a footnote to that of her more famous brother, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Other Mozart is based on facts, stories and lines pulled directly from the Mozart family’s humorous and heartbreaking letters. It is created, written and performed by Sylvia Milo.

“The idea for a week of programming dedicated to women came to me as we were planning our 20th season,” Artistic Director Christine Sandin says. “Sunset Cultural Center has long been a champion of female artists and what better way to showcase and celebrate women actors, musicians and writers than International Women’s Day on March 8 of each year.

“Our theme for the anniversary is The Platinum Experience,” Sandin continues. “This prompted me to reflect on who our most popular female guests have been, and Anne Lamott immediately came to mind as one of our most popular author presentations.”

Sandin also recommends The Other Mozart on Saturday, March 9. “The sister of Amadeus was a prodigy in her own right and largely overlooked by history,” she says.

Women’s Week offers an invitation to reclaim those overlooked creative stories of achievement and leadership.
