The ultimate list of female composers
When I participated in the Women’s March in Washington DC I tapped into a collective consciousness of women’s oppression in the twenty-first century and it made me really curious about how women expressed themselves (through music in my case) in the absence of political and socioeconomic equality throughout the centuries. I believe that women’s ability to express themselves can lead to greater social change and the betterment of all people.
I was already developing the seeds for the Voices of Women project with my pianist Mila Henry, and she was very excited about exploring this new lens of exposure with me, so we began researching and consulting with living female composers as well, which turned into the commission of a new piece by a female composer which is included on the Voices of Women album.

I’m now in the twilight of my twenties at age 27, slowly creeping toward *shudders* my thirties. But enough about me and my inevitable mortality.
I’m here this week to talk about Columbus Day and Christopher Columbus. Mostly because there’s not much going on in the U.S. apart from election buzz I have little interest in writing about, but also because
