An Introduction

Hello!

My name is Gala Flagello and I am delighted to be this year’s Festival Assistant for the Women Composers Festival of Hartford! I am currently a composition student at The Hartt School, studying composition with Gilda Lyons and French horn with Sue Spaulding. Much of my music is based in rhythmic motives, and lately I’ve been exploring the many possibilities of integrating narrative and my own poetry into my pieces.

As a female composer, I’m excited to be working on the Women Composers Festival of Hartford because it gives voice to an underrepresented part of the composition community. The Festival creates a platform for new music and contemporary thought that both entertains and informs musicians, fellow composers, and audience members alike. From score calls going on now to the concerts and lectures in March, I am happy to be a part of a festival so alive with the talent and creativity of women composers.

One thought on “An Introduction”

  1. Please let me know what the requirements are for “Lectures and Presentations.” Apparently I missed the call for submissions, and I wonder where this was publicized, as I did not get a notice that this was in effect.

    Thank you.
    Sylvia
