Wildflower Composers is celebrating its fifth year of supporting and uplifting the work of young female, transgender, and nonbinary composers. To mark this special occasion, we are thrilled to invite you to our Fifth Anniversary Concert with Quartet Iris. This exciting event will feature world premieres by four commissioned Wildflower alums – Cece Olszewski (‘20, ‘21), Hannah Sobel (‘21), Emily Liushen (‘18), and Chloe Smith (‘21) – in addition to pieces by longtime faculty member inti figgis-vizueta, founder Erin Busch, and past guest composer and current Philadelphia Orchestra Composer-In-Residence Gabriela Lena Frank.

Please join us on October 16th at 3pm at the Ethical Society of Philadelphia to celebrate the work of these talented young composers, and to help us continue to support the next generation of female and gender-expansive composers. Tickets are offered on a sliding scale from $10–25, and can be purchased online or at the door.
