In this conversation, Marianne Forman shares her journey as a composer and musician, discussing her early musical experiences, the importance of parental support in music education, and the challenges of balancing family life with a career in composition. She emphasizes the significance of accessibility in music, particularly for young singers, and reflects on her recent contributions to choral music publications. The discussion also touches on the representation of women in music composition and the support systems that help navigate these challenges!
