This Week at the College of Music: Community Edition - March 10, 2022

Fifth Distinguished Lectureship in Music, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion + Justice: Continuing its annual lectureship series, the College of Music is thrilled to welcome Gabriela Lena Frank, a prestigious composer and pianist with a multicultural heritage: Peruvian/Chinese descent on her mother’s side and Lithuanian/Jewish descent on her father’s side. In 2017, The Washington Post included Frank in a shortlist of the most significant composers in history. She’s also been nominated for Grammys as both a composer and a pianist. With reference to the past, yet looking to the future, join us on March 17 for a conversation with Frank on creating the 21st-century musician.
