This poster announces a conference and workshop held in New York City on March 8, 1980, devoted to twentieth-century string quartets by women composers. The artist drew it in support of the event, so the image serves as an invitation to the program rather than a view of the city. In 1980, scholars and performers were working to recover music by women that had been left out of standard concert programs, and the poster reflects that effort to bring the repertory to a wider audience. March 8 is also International Women's Day, which may have informed the timing.
