One Composer One Community Concert: Reena Esmail - April 20, 2024

Through our One Composer, One Community initiative, MIC partners with a composer and connects MIC student musicians of all ages and levels with their music.
Each year, MIC focuses on the music of an under-represented composer that will be highlighted in MIC teaching studios and on stage at Nichols Concert Hall. The inaugural composer was William Grant Still in 2022. Hector Villa Lobos was the 2023 selection.
In 2024, Indian-American Composer Reena Esmail was selected. Reena is known for synthesizing elements of classical Indian music with those of the Western classical music tradition. Enjoy a concert of works by Reena Esmail, performed by MIC students of all ages, with commentary by the composer herself!
