March 3rd, 2011, 8:15 pm marks the 14th annual Women Musicians Network
concert. As always, it will be at the Berklee Performance Center, and the focus
will be on Berklee women students from around the world.

There will be 12 diverse acts, ranging from R&B to film music, alternative, and
Flamenco piano. Lucy Holstedt, W.M.N. co-founder and faculty advisor, is
"extremely pleased" that Daniela Schachter--an acclaimed jazz composer and
performer--will be a special guest. "Daniela was in the show back when she
was a Berklee student: she was excellent then, and of course she's even better
now," says Holstedt. "It's great that she was available."

This is the second year in row that a group from Berklee City Music joins the
W.M.N. concert. "These are some wonderful Middle School kids," according to
Lucy, who will add a "very interesting dimension" to the evening.

Tickets are only $10 at the B.P.C. box office (which doesn't take phone orders).
Tickets are also available this year via Ticketmaster. According to Jennifer
Fuchel, a professor at Suffolk University (who hasn't missed a W.M.N. concert
"for several years"), it's best to get tickets in advance.

"I don't believe it has sold out in the past," says Ms. Fuchel, but this is always
such an amazing concert, I'm surprised to see a single empty seat."


A longtime Somerville fan said, "There's nothing exactly like it. Which is
exactly why you'll like it."
