Megan DiGeorgio (MC ’20) Receives New Music Commission
Megan DiGeorgio (’20) was recently selected by Fear No Music, a new music and advocacy group based in Portland, OR, to compose a work based on the 2018 Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.
Her composition, “I’m Terrified,” is part of a commissioning project for vocal chamber music called HEARINGS. The text of the piece, which will be spoken and sung by solo soprano, will come directly from the hearing and will comprise exclusively Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s words, not those of Brett Kavanaugh or any other committee member. The soprano will be accompanied by string quartet, flute, and clarinet.
HEARINGS will take place on September 23, 2019, in Portland, OR, and will feature six new works, including Megan’s.
Megan is a violist, composer, and educator based in the Washington, DC, area. Read the new post on the MFA in Music Composition program blog, Everything Is Music, and learn more about Megan and her work at megandigeorgio.com.
