Borwick's 'Spirit' debuts in New York City

SashaProfessor of Music and composer Susan Borwick’s latest work for the bassoon, “Spirit,” premiered  in New York City on Jan. 28.

The piece was performed by her former student, Sasha Enegren. Enegren performed the work at a recital at Manhattan School of Music, where she is a doctoral candidate for bassoon performance.

Enegren graduated magna cum laude from Wake Forest in 2005.

“Spirit,” written for bassoon and piano, is one of several original works for the bassoon that premiered that evening. The recital included small chamber ensembles, solos and two concertos with orchestra.

Borwick is the president of the International Alliance for Women in Music.

Borwick elected president of IAWM

Susan BorwickDuring the fall semester, professor Susan Borwick was elected President of the International Alliance for Women in Music, a global alliance of women and men working to increase and enhance musical activities and opportunities and to promote all aspects of the music of women.

The IAWM, founded in 1995 when three longtime societies merged, offers a semi-annual Journal, international competitions for composers (The Search for New Music) and scholars (The Pauline Alderman Awards), an Annual Concert, an International Congress of papers and performances every three years, and an active website, listserv and blog. The last two International Congresses were held in Flagstaff, Arizona, U.S., and Beijing, China.

Borwick says her new position allows her to work with creative musicians from throughout the world. The Fall 2012 Annual Concert presented works by nine women: Cuban, Japanese, English, Taiwanese, Canadian, and American; all but one attended the Baltimore event. Leading the IAWM draws from the whole of Borwick’s backgrounds in music composition, theory, and musicology, along with women’s and gender studies and administration.

“I’m honored to have some role in enhancing the well-being of professional women musicians and music around the globe,” Borwick said.
