This is a special treat available for the first generation of Alumnae and our most recent alumnae supporters.

• SFGC
• College choral experiences
• New York music scene
• Collaborations

Questions for Lisa? Send to alum@sfgirlschorus.org

For those of you who haven’t connected with Lisa since SFGC, here’s an update -  As a composer-vocalist Lisa takes inspiration for her work from literary sources and close artistic collaborations. The New York Times describes her music as, "ruminative, pointillistic and harmonically slightly tart," and Time Out New York praised her "prodigious gift for mingling persuasive melodicism with organic experimentation." She is a 2009 Rome Prize winner in Musical Composition and is spending September 2009 through August 2010 composing at the American Academy in Rome.

Lisa is most recently a featured artist at the Other Minds Festival March 4-6, 2010 at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco. To learn more about the Festival and how to attend, please go to www.otherminds.org

RSVP by Friday, February 26 to mclay@sfgirlschorus.org

Natasha Hoehn ’90, Alumnae Association Committee Chair
