Making Waves is a curated anthology of commissions written by women for solo and chamber flute. Each piece will include voice in some way to highlight the composers' stories and inspirations, from mother-daughter relationships to the women who made the first moon landing possible.
I am collaborating with seven composers over the next several years - Ashi Day, Isabel Lepanto Gleicher, Shara Lunon, Niloufar Nourbakhsh, Judith Shatin, Annika K. Socolofsky and Pamela Z. Their works are being premiered in a 3-year concert series from 2023-2025, culminating in an album recording and full anthology performance.
Harford Community College hosted the first premiere of this series on May 7 at 3:00 PM on their Sunday Afternoon Concert Series. Isabel Lepanto Gleicher's work for flute duo and electronics, This Is Your Mother, was featured on this program.
I want audiences to experience music written by women, performed by women and celebrated by everyone. But, I need your help to make this possible! I have a fundraising goal of $15,000, and all donations will go directly towards composer commission fees.
Although crowdfunding is complete, you can still become part of the project by making a tax-deductible donation today!
Making Waves is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the charitable purposes of Making Waves must be made payable to Fractured Atlas only and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
