POTSDAM -- SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music will host an upcoming concert celebrating music composed by or for women.

The internationally acclaimed musician Lauren Pelon will perform on March 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the Sara M. Snell Music Theater.

In her program "Women in Music: Someone Will Remember Us," Pelon will trace the story of women in music and perform music from around the world.

“Crossing the boundaries of time, distance and culture, Pelon sings and plays approximately 25 ancient and modern instruments -- some of which were traditionally played by women, while others were forbidden,” SUNY Potsdam said in a news release. “‘Women in Music: Someone Will Remember Us’ melds Pelon's original compositions with her arrangements of music from ancient Greece, medieval Europe, and contemporary Africa, America and Estonia.”

She performs on the lute, lyre, hurdy-gurdy, recorders, gemshorn, pennywhistles, ocarina, Kiowa courting flute, eagle bone flute, cornamuse, krummhorn, schreierpfeife, shawm, rackett, concertina, an electric wind instrument and the MIDI-pedalboard.

This concert is free, and the public is invited to attend.
