Nina Iorik:

“I'm honored and delighted to host the "Composer of the Month" series, where we'll dive into the lives and works of classical music's greatest minds. As a young composer and pianist, I've always been fascinated by the stories behind the music. Through this project, I aim to share that passion with others and highlight the significance of classical music in our lives.

As someone who's had the privilege of participating in the Merimann-Ross Young Composers Workshop with the Seattle Symphony, I understand the importance of nurturing creativity and innovation in music. I'm excited to bring my own experiences and insights to the series, exploring the creative processes and inspirations that shape iconic compositions.

Through "Composer of the Month," I hope to inspire a new generation of music lovers and composers, showcasing the relevance and power of classical music in modern society. Join me on this journey into the world of classical music, where we'll uncover the stories and masterpieces that continue to shape our cultural heritage.”
