Luna Composition Lab provides mentorship and performance opportunities to young composers who are female, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming.
This year Luna Lab celebrates five alumni graduating from high school and college across five different fellowship years. We asked our graduating seniors to reflect on their their time with Luna Lab, their high school and college years, and what they are most looking forward to as they embark on their next musical journey.
We asked our 2024–25 fellows—Sam Pichardo, Danity Pike, Mia Turakhia, Zoe Verduin, Brannon Warn-Johnston, and Emilie Wolff—what inspired the pieces they have been working on with their mentors throughout this year. Learn where they each found inspiration ahead of the world premieres on June 26 at Carnegie Hall, performed by International Contemporary Ensemble.
The next Luna Lab Festival will be held from June 22-27! The 2024–25 fellows will travel to New York City to participate in six days of workshops, masterclasses, networking events, performances, and more, culminating in a performance of their world premiere compositions by International Contemporary Ensemble.
