Event Description
- Master composer/soprano Gilda Lyons’stunning La Flor Más Lindawas composed as a response to the September 2018 march on the Nicaraguan dictatorial Ortega government. Ms. Lyons joins the Concert Band as soloist in Labyrinth of Love(Michael Daugherty), which celebrates the varied emotions of life, including despair and hope, through the poetry and prose of women throughout history. http://www.gildalyons.com
- Germaine Tailleferrewas the only female member of Les Six, a group of young composers who, with Cocteau’s encouragement, rebelled against the impressionistic “fog” and the “pathos” of Wagner. Her Ouvertureis the opener for her opera, Il était un Petit Navire, the farcical story of cannibalism on a ship adrift at sea!
The five movements of Suite Française(Darius Milhaud) celebrate the folk tunes of provinces where American and Allied forces fought alongside the French underground during WWII. The incorporation of these melodies reinforces the idea of hope – which is the basis of freedom.

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact
LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing
With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant
LISC partner GRID Alternatives has been awarded a $249,800,000 Solar for All grant from the EPA to advance renewable and clean energy sources for affordable housing communities across the country. “The grant is an incredible boon to the movement to decarbonize homes and lower energy costs that burden millions of everyday Americans,” said Michael T. Pugh, president and CEO of LISC.
