We are sad to share that longtime NYWC member and composer Hilary Tann passed away suddenly on Wednesday, February 8th, 2023. You can read her obituary, which was published in the Albany Times Union over the weekend, here: https://tinyurl.com/2hjnpdbp.

Hilary’s work, “Moon Full, Tide Low,” was featuredlast month through our partnership with the Flute Examiner (https://tinyurl.com/2p8br2z6), and her three album releases from 2022 were included in our 2022 Album Release Round-Up just a few weeks ago. Hilary was an inspiring, prolific composer and has made an indelible mark on the NYWC community and beyond. She will be missed.

We encourage you to take some time to listen to and learn more about Hilary’s work by following the links above or exploring her member profile, which will remain on the NYWC website, here: https://newyorkwomencomposers.org/author/htann/.

We are sending our deepest sympathy and condolences to Hilary’s family and all those who knew and loved her.
