By: Get News

Burbank, California – November 17, 2021 – “An appalling recent statistic: only 1.8 percent of music programmed by major U.S. orchestras was written by women.” (NPR, 2017) 

To raise awareness of women composers, Pasadena Alumnae Chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota (founded in 1940), has established an annual composers concert “Hear Her Score,” which highlights the works of prominent female composers of our time. 

This year’s concert, held on Saturday, November 6, 2021 at Burbank, California, United States has featured the works of Tanya Dartson, Bonnie Janofsky and Jane Marshall among others.

TANYA DARTSON is a Toronto based composer and a finalist of Maurice Ravel International Composition Competition. She got known for her composition “Escape from Planet Earth,” which was written for the full symphony orchestra during Hurricane Sandy in New York City.  Subsequently, Tanya Dartson’s music was featured on Brooklyn News 12 TV channel in New York City and various newspaper articles and radio stations internationally, such as iHeartRadio, CKWR FM 98.5, WERS 88.9 FM, SAF in South Africa and others.
