Luna Composition Lab provides mentorship and performance opportunities to young composers who are female, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming.
The next annual Luna Lab Festival will be held from June 6-10, 2023. The 2022–23 fellows will travel to New York City to participate in five days of workshops, master classes, networking events, performances, and more, culminating in a performance of their world premiere compositions.
In May 2023 Luna Lab alumni Madeline Clara Cheng (2020-21) and Caleb Palka (2017-18) will travel to Bergen for workshops with young female and nonbinary Norwegian composers, led by mentor Therese Ulvo. In addition, both Maddie and Caleb will have their works premiered on festival concerts.
Luna Lab’s largest commissioning initiative to date, The May Festival’s 25 for 25: A New Time for Choral Music premieres new choral works by Greater Cincinnati choral ensembles in a community showcase March 19, 2023, and at several other local performances throughout the spring.
