ARS FEMINA is a chamber music ensemble of professional musicians and scholars whose pioneering work on women composers before 1800 has attracted an international following through its scholarship as well as its performances on both radio and television. ARS FEMINA breathes life into every concert with spoken (often humorous) explorations of the passions and prejudices that have inspired and silenced women composers. The ensemble performs in a variety of settings, from classroom to concert hall. Programs of varying length are tailored to young audiences from kindergarten through high school. College concerts may also include workshops in historical performance practices and other related topics.

The members of ARS FEMINA are Linda De Rungs, soprano; Marina Nielsen, violoncello; William Bauer, violin and viola d'amore; Susan Reigler, locutor; and Jim Oxyer, harpsichord, virginal and organ.
