About the organizers
This initiative sprung from a shared vision for building a stronger new music community for living Asian female composers – a very diverse and large community, especially when brought together. We are very excited and proud of the composers and performers featured in this concert series and hope that this is only the beginning of a long-term project that will continue to grow.
We would also like to thank Sylvie Beaudette and Taylor Booth from the Eastman School of Music for their support and Modesta Gorol for creating a beautiful logo.
