I am very excited that my work Gift, for Soprano and Piano, will be featured at RISE Concert by Anne Harley (soprano) and Gayle Blankenburg (piano) on May 8! This concert will showcase recently composed works of vocal chamber music in Farsi and English by rising female composers and poets from the Iranian diaspora. I can't wait to listen to my work and works by my fellow Iranian composers Aida Shirazi, Niloufar Nourbakhsh, Parisa Sabet, Bahar Taheri, as well as a recitation to Shirazi's music, by female poet and playwright Sholeh Wolpé! . . . Our next featured composer is Niloufar Iravani. She is a composer of acoustic and electroacoustic music who has received many commissions and awards including commissions by the League of American Orchestras (LAO) and the Louisiana Music Teachers Association (LMTA) and awards such as first prize winner of the Southeastern Composers League (SCL) 2018 Philip Slates Memorial Competition. Featured as an emerging composer in American Composers Orchestra (ACO) EarShot 2018 Readings, Iravani has presented her music at numerous festivals and conferences by distinguished artists and ensembles.
