Joelle Wallach will be Composer in Residence at Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina. Public concerts in the school’s Carswell Hall on February 5 and 6 will include the World Premiere of the College's commissioned work, Summer Synchrony, written for Octavia, the school's piano ensemble.
The composer says about this residency, "Working with Meredith's brilliant faculty and talented students has been a profoundly rewarding musical experience which I hope the audience will come to share."
Works to be performed on February 5 and 6 include Voices of the Iron Harp for solo piano, Scalerica d'oro for cello and Middle-Eastern percussion, Lagrimas y Llocuras, mapping the mind of a madwoman for solo piano, String Quartet #2, Beyond the Shadow Of the Rain for violin, viola and cello, The Firefighter's Prayer for baritone and strings, as well as Three Short Sacred Anthems for chorus.

More about the February 5 faculty concert at http://www.meredith.edu/calendar/event/12541/ and the February 6 student concert at http://www.meredith.edu/calendar/event/12542/. Joelle Wallach composes music for orchestra, chamber ensembles, solo voices and choruses. The New York Philharmonic Ensembles premiered her octet, From the Forest of Chimneys, written to celebrate their 10th anniversary; and the New York Choral Society commissioned her secular oratorio, Toward a Time of Renewal, for 200 voices and orchestra to commemorate their 35th Anniversary Season in Carnegie Hall. Her String Quartet 1995 was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Music. Wallach's early training in piano, voice, theory, bassoon and violin included study at the Juilliard Preparatory Division. In 1984 the Manhattan School of Music, where she studied with John Corigliano, granted her its first doctorate in composition.
Dr. Wallach served as Composer in the Metropolis as part of her Con-Edison Music in the Metropolis Composer Residency at New York City’s Turtle Bay Music School in Fall 2013.
The 4Tay label has released two CDs of her music - The Door Standing Open – a collection of songs and chamber works (CD 4034) and The Nightwatch - more songs and solo piano works (CD 4035). More about her at http://www.joellewallach.com.
