Advisory Council member Tania Leon (CRF 2003) named curator of National Sawdust in Brooklyn in the 2018-2019 season.
“From her time serving as as a founding member and inaugural musical director of Arthur Mitchell’s Dance Theatre of Harlem to her position advising Kurt Masur and the New York Philharmonic, this composer, conductor and artistic advisor continuously defies notions of race and gender through her work. She brings this defiant spirit to her curation at National Sawdust, where she will present a concert of music written entirely by Latina women, serve as a judge for the Hildegard Competition for female and nonbinary composers, and showcasing her own iconic compositions in an evening honoring her work.”
