about

Luna Composition Lab announces New Moons I: Music From Luna Composition Lab 2023 (available digitally September 22nd), featuring recordings of five world premiere compositions by the 2022–23 fellows—Hannah Chen, Lucy Chen, Lili M. Namazi, Elaina Stuppler, and Isabelle Tseng—and performed by the International Contemporary Ensemble.

The album features chamber works that draw upon a variety of inspirations. Experience Lucy Chen’s coming of age piece, Hannah Chen and Lili Namazi’s aleatoric and sonic explorations, and Isabelle Tseng and Elaina Rae Stuppler’s pieces inspired by the climates of their hometowns—each from opposite coasts of the United States. 

Luna Composition Lab is “changing the playing field” (The New Yorker) by providing mentorship and resources for young female, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming composers. Founded in 2016 by composers Missy Mazzoli and Ellen Reid, Luna Lab aims to achieve a broad, lasting, and positive impact in the field of music by empowering and emboldening the next generation of musicians and creative leaders.

Luna Composition Lab’s signature program—the Luna Lab Fellowship—provides six young composers annually with a year of mentorship from an established female or nonbinary composer, along with professional performances and recordings of their work.

This season, Luna Composition Lab is delighted to have worked with the International Contemporary Ensemble as the 2022–23 Ensemble in Residence. Members of the International Contemporary Ensemble worked with fellows throughout the year to workshop their new pieces and premiere them on a program as part of American Composers Orchestra’s SoniC festival in June 2023.
