On Friday June 24 at 7:00PM, Marlysse Simmons and Laura Ann Singh, members of American band Miramar, will launch MELODIA, a new multi-lingual global initiative celebrating women composers of popular song around the world.
This launch event will feature Miramar’s performances of songs by three women composers — "Nezhnost" and "Hope" by celebrated Russian composer Aleksandra Pakhmutova; "Walking by the River" by African-American composer Una Mae Carlyle and "Nave Sin Rumbo" by innovative Puerto Rican composer and songwriter Sylvia Rexach.
The performances will be followed by a discussion with Simmons and Singh about the importance of highlighting women artists and the significant role these three composers have had in their respective countries.
