Please join AWFC Board member and former President Starr Parodi for a conversation about contemporary composition and live performance. Starr will be joined in conversation by The Neave Trio. Hear about how and why the Trio chose the women composers whose works they recorded on their last album “Her Voice," of which Gramaphone said “a splendid introduction to these three pioneering female composers” ... “a taut and vivid interpretation.” The Trio will be sharing some of the music from this album as they offer tips about writing for trio and for each of their individual instruments.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21
11am-12pm - LOS ANGELES (pdt)
2pm-3pm - NEW YORK (edt)
7pm-8pm - LONDON (bst)
