Several members have participated I. The Atlanta Opera’s time challenges. Let’s just say we remember when it was a 24 hour challenge and that included all the libretto writing and composing😳

Check out Evan Williams (composer) at this year’s challenge.

Now in its third season, the 96-Hour Opera Festival celebrates emerging creative talents from historically under-recognized communities and offers a path into the art of opera.

Check out member Daijana Wallace’s new consortium and join now!

We are excited to announce for the first time our 2024 Commissioned Composer, cellist Daijana Wallace. Daijana is writing one 5-7 minute concert etude for cello targeting Suzuki Book 4 level.

Daijana Wallace is a composer and educator based in Wichita, KS. Her music is an outward reflection of her own introspection, drawing inspiration from any and every thought that crosses her mind from the mundane aspects of daily life to specific memories about a percussive upstairs neighbor. Wallace’s compositions have been heard at venues such as Wichita Art Museum, and MASS MoCA, as well as PASIC and International Society of Basses conferences. Daijana holds Bachelors’ Degrees and a Master’s Degrees from Wichita State University and Michigan State University respectively. When she’s not busy composing, she’s teaching music in the greater Wichita area.

Daijana is pronounced Day-on-a, like spending a day-on-a beach.

Eight of our composers and some family members who are arriving ahead of tonight’s concert were able to stop by the Ritter Planetarium and Brooks Observatory today for a tour of our solar system and the facilities at the The University of Toledo with our very own experts in the field! Here we are with the 1 meter telescope. We so so appreciate Michael Cushing and Heidi Westrick’s expertise in keeping our works scientifically accurate and have been so inspired by you! See you at the show everyone💙🌎🪐🌕💙
