I CARE IF YOU LISTEN: ListN Up: Sarah Kirkland Snider
“ListN Up is a series of weekly artist-curated playlists. Born from a desire to keep artists sharing and connected during times of isolation, ListN Up offers an intimate sonic portrait of contemporary artists by showcasing the diverse and stylistically varied music that influences their creative practice. This series is sponsored by American Composers Forum/innova Recordings with new releases every Friday on I CARE IF YOU LISTEN.
Composer Sarah Kirkland Snider’s works have been commissioned and performed by the New York Philharmonic; the San Francisco, Detroit, and National Symphony Orchestras; the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and Birmingham Royal Ballet; A Far Cry, eighth blackbird, yMusic, Roomful of Teeth, Shara Nova, and Colin Currie, among others. Current/recent projects include Forward Into Light, an orchestral work inspired by the American women’s suffrage movement, and an opera on 12th-century abbess/composer Hildegard von Bingen, commissioned by Beth Morrison Projects. In fall 2020, Nonesuch and New Amsterdam Records will release Snider’s third LP: Mass for the Endangered, a 2018 work for chorus and ensemble on the global environmental crisis.”
