Emma Logan is selected as a 2016-2018 Center for New Music curator!
Emma Logan writes:
Concert programming across the United States fails to represent a large and powerful creative demographic: women. As a curator for the Center of New Music, I plan to present programs featuring women as the primary creators. I hope to bring my dedication and love for new music to help promote women (and forward thinking men!) by creating a new platform for creative endeavors in the Bay Area.
Congratulations, Emma!
