Thank you to for helping to fund this concert.

Thank you to Oregon Cultural Trust for helping to make "Whispers of Desire" next weekend happen!

We are proud to highlight the work of In Mulieribus as they present "Sappho: Whispers of Desire," a deep dive into the lyrical fragments of Sappho, the ancient Greek poet whose work has influenced literature for millennia. By setting these ancient texts to modern compositions, this Portland-based vocal ensemble bridges the gap between antiquity and today.

Through our statewide funding model, we are able to support those extra layers that turn a performance into a community experience:
🎶 Pre-concert talks: Diving into the history and translation of Sappho’s poetry.
🎶 Post-concert engagement: Space for audiences to discuss the themes of desire, identity and historical memory.

The Oregon Cultural Trust's mission is to foster civic dialogue and lifelong learning. By pooling our resources, we ensure that Oregonians have access to sophisticated cultural programs that invite us to think, talk and connect.

Prepare to be spellbound 🪄as pianist Susan McDaniel joins In Mulieribus for an evocative evening of music in ‘Whispers of Desire’ on April 18 & 19 in NE Portland. Together, we’re reclaiming the voice of Sappho in a performance that is as intimate as it is powerful.

Tickets: InMulieribus.org

Susan McDaniel, M.M., has appeared widely as a solo and collaborative pianist, including regional and national concert tours as well as recitals in numerous European countries. After receiving a master’s degree in vocal accompanying from the Manhattan School of Music, she performed as a young artist with San Diego Opera and then worked as a member of the music staff at Seattle Opera and Utah Festival Opera. Since returning to her home state of Oregon, Susan has maintained an active performing career in vocal and instrumental chamber music, appearing with prominent artists including the operatic baritone Alessandro Corbelli and violinist Anne Akiko Meyers. She has been a frequent faculty artist at the Atlantic Music Festival and is faculty coach at the Music in the Marche opera and chamber music training program in Mondavio, Italy. Her most recent recording with baritone Stephen Lancaster, GILGAMESH: A Visual Album, was released on Navona Records and YouTube in November 2025. She has served as lecturer of music in collaborative piano at the University of Portland since 2018.

Our season 19 finale ‘Whispers of Desire’ is all about celebrating the original q***r icon and lyric poet Sappho. Her unabashed sensuality has made Sappho an enduring muse across Millenia from Ancient Greece to today and her voice still remains as relevant as ever.

Join us for this joyful reclamation of her legacy!
