WHO ARE YOU?

January is the month of doors and gates, and of breaking up but we're breaking OUT our second compilation CD with 10 fabulous female composers.

There's a lot to smile about at the end of this year. We can boast great programs with Community Musicwomen and Composers. And there's more coming in 2012! So stay tuned and tell others to watch as we grow and celebrate our 5th Anniversary!!!

See the EVENTS page for programs in January and February. On March 15th, we'll celebrate our founding members at an intimate dinner at Ciao Pasta and Grill, owned by member Brian Harris.  On January 25th, the Parkway Middle School Jazz Band and Vocal Ensemble will join Community Composers to perform original scores of our music. The best news is  the release of our second compilation CD with nine composers who join me. ~ Diva JC

Volume II will be released
