 Alex Shapiro |
Want to hear my music in concert?
___________________________ A composer's work is purely abstract without musicians bringing it to life. I'm grateful to the many musicians around the world who have put their time, energy and heart into bringing my notes into the air, and to the ears of audiences!
|
Alex Shapiro is very, very fortunate that her pieces are performed on several hundred concerts each year. Listed below are selected ones in professional or university venues for which she has information.
|
|
If you have programmed a Shapiro work or have an upcoming concert date, please email the information— as well as a program, if possible— to Alex by clicking HERE. She'll love hearing from you, and you'll be added to this page! Thanks!
