Friends of Chamber Music, Inc., Troy, NY

In honor of International Women's day, FoCM celebrates one of our favorite young composers, Caroline Shaw. In 2013, at the age of 30, Caroline Shaw became the youngest person ever awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Music. Her already rich output ranges widely from works for vocal ensembles to string quartets. Do you have a favorite female composer? Let us know in the comments!

Friends of Chamber Music is proud to be involved with this Journey! See how you can join on our website, Friends of Chamber Music audience members have FREE access to all six weeks.

Join us tomorrow at 7:30pm with a session devoted to the power of music education to create positive social change! Grammy-award winning musician, Nathan Schram, will speak about Musicambia, an innovative program he founded in 2015. Musicambia fosters social connection, communication and collaborative skills in incarcerated populations through weekly instrumental instruction and ensemble playing. See you then!

Sharing some JOY on this New Year’s Eve, as we say buh-bye to a perspective altering year. This movement from Project Daydream played with a simple, joyful mel...ody, bouncing from unison to exploratory and back again. My resolution is to hold onto the beauty of simplicity that living through the pandemic has shown, discovering and rediscovering as we move ahead. I’m grateful to create with so many awesome folks and organizations as we build MF Dynamics. this clip ft @tv_hall @wearethelooplab @adoseofmeds @celebrityseries @boscenterforarts @karimbadwan @artsinboston. thank you all!
