We have launched as the first digital press/archive for music by women composers! Currently, through Women’s Philharmonic Advocacy, we received a grant from the Open Meadows Foundation to digitize public domain works from the Women’s Philharmonic Collection currently housed in the Fleisher Collection of the Free Library of Philadelphia. http://www.wophil.org Look for these pages this fall! Our composers are also busy...

Sofia Kamayianni recently completed a new work for the Lovely Echoes project, performed at The Arts Foundation in Athens, Greece. She worked with the mezzo soprano Efi Minakouli and the bass Tobias Schlierf in a concert bringing together medieval music with that of the 21st century. The program featured both medieval music performed on original instruments (rebec, portative organ, organistrum, lute, various wind instruments etc.) as well as the use of computer generated sound. http://www.spiza.gr/spizaENG/home.html
