The Board and Officers of New York Women Composers warmly invite you to join us for our annual salon-style fundraiser on Tuesday, October 22nd, at 6:30 PM. This year is particularly special as we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of our organization, and we would love for you to be a part of this milestone event.

The evening will feature live performances, a silent auction, delicious food and drinks, and our honored guest, Laura Kaminsky. It promises to be an unforgettable celebration of women in music!
