Composer Talk

Join us for a special talk with Sheila Silver, the acclaimed composer behind our world-premiere production of A Thousand Splendid Suns. Silver returns to the UW School of Music, where she spent two years, to give an in-depth musical discussion of her unique score, which incorporates aspects of Hindustani music, the classical music of Northern India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, into her Western musical voice. Silver will illustrate her talk with musical examples. This talk is directed mainly toward students of composition, but is free and open to the public.
