Founded and Directed by Fifth Year Graduate Student in Composition, Erin Busch, the Wildflower Composers team is composed of individuals in Philadelphia who have a passion for inclusivity and diversity in the arts. If you are in the city & interested in hearing some new music, consider attending one or both of these events:
Wildflower Faculty Concert with Arcana New Music
Thursday, July 14th at 7pm - University Lutheran Church, 3637 Chestnut St.
This will be our first concert of faculty works! I'm looking forward to hearing pieces by our faculty composers inti figgis-vizueta, Rajna Swaminathan, and Flannery Cunningham, performed by members of the Arcana New Music Ensemble. I also have a new work for solo violin on the program! Tickets are pay-what-you-wish, $0–20.
Festival Concert
Friday, July 22nd at 3pm - Rock Hall, 1715 N. Broad St
Our annual concert of world premiere compositions by 2022 students! I'm so excited about our amazing performers this year:
• Jessica Beebe, soprano (The Crossing, Variant 6)
• Emmalie Tello, clarinet (International Contemporary Ensemble)
• Andrew Yee, cello (Attacca Quartet)
• Hanchien Lee, piano (Philadelphia Chamber Music Society)
PLUS, all of our students will perform as part of our New Music Ensemble, led by Rajna Swaminathan! I can't wait to hear what our students compose, and I hope to see you there at this 100% free community event. (PS: if you can't make it in person, you can watch the livestream here: https://youtu.be/KXryAhSKZyg).
