Location: Bliss Music Room, The Hartt School

In Fall 2019, three student composers were selected to participate in the Women Composers Festival of Hartford’s Student Composers Workshop. Over the winter, the students attended in-person sessions with workshop leader Dr. Jessica Rudman and received online mentoring as they composed new pieces for the 2020 WCFH Ensemble-in-Residence, The Craft Ensemble.

During the session, The Craft Ensemble will workshop the pieces, offer advice on idiomatic compositional techniques, as well as what attracts them to a new work.

This year’s student composers are:
Sarah Marze
Leigh Anne Robichaux
Ky Nam Nguyen

The Women Composers Festival of Hartford promotes the music of contemporary and historical women composers.

The WCFH embraces diversity of race, ethnicity, and ability, and empowers artists from underrepresented groups who identify as women, including transgender and gender-fluid individuals, women of color, indigenous groups, LGBTQ, and the differently abled. We warmly invite and welcome all attendees. Our annual Festival is accessible for all those with mobility, visual, and/or hearing impairments.

When you make a tax-deductible donation to the Women Composers Festival of Hartford, your money directly supports the creation, promotion, and performance of women’s music.
