Women Composer YouTube Database Project Looking for Female Composers and Songwriters

Women Composer YouTube Database Project Looking for Female Composers and Songwriters The Women Composer YouTube Database is a project designed to make the works of prominent women in music known to a broader base by creating long playlists of works by select female composers and songwritings in classical music, electronica, and film. This is a project begun by award-winning composer Sabrina Pena Young.   The hope is that as more and more of these Youtube Playlists of women composers are made available, the playlists will be shared and other musicians will take the time to create more female composer playlists. This project was begun in August 2017. The goal is to eventually have 100 + separate playlists highlighting the works of 100+ female composers.   If you are interested in having a playlist made of your work or a prominent female composer as part of this project, please contact Sabrina Pena Young directly through her facebook page: https://www.facebook.co...

What Everyone is Saying about the Strange Films and Soundtracks of Sabrina Pena Young: Music Review

What Everyone is Saying about the Strange Films of Sabrina Pena Young Recently Chrissie Caulfield from Radio Free Midwich decided to take on the daunting task of reviewing  my recent releases  The Futurist Music Anthology: The Electroacoustic Mind of Sabrina Pena Young  and  Science Fiction & Horror Movie Soundtrack Collection: Strange Films of Sabrina Pena Young  by the talented Chrissie Caulfield.  You will find her writing engaging and will find yourself wanting to find out more not only about the music but about the myriad of references that she uses to describe the decidedly "strange" world of electroacoustic music . Her writing is story-like and takes you on an otherworldly journey.

Astoria Big Band Raises funds for NEW YORK Concert with GoFundMe

Astoria Big Band Raises funds for NEW YORK Concert with GoFundMe From Director Carol Sudhalter : "I'm a saxophonist and flautist and the founder of the 16-piece Astoria Big Band. I also have my own quartet. I was awarded a grant from the NEW YORK WOMEN COMPOSERS, INC to play works by their wonderful composers! The concert will take place November 22 at Steinway Reformed Church in Astoria, Queens . In addition to music by the New York Women Composers, Inc. I will play several of my own original tunes.  This grant is what is called ‘seed money’.  It’s not nearly enough to pay for everything that makes a great concert: the band (piano, bass, drums, 2 vocalists and myself), rehearsals, publicity,  promotion, donation to the church, a sound person, a printed program and  audio and video recording."
