Debuting in December of 2017, A Room of One’s Own is a MATA initiative presenting female-identifying composer-performers in nontraditional concert environments. A Room of One’s Own works with featured artists to create a space for them to create future-forward, unexpected works that look beyond the scope of the concert hall.

Bedford-Stuyvesant, Private Residence | Brooklyn, NY
Set in a renovated historic brownstone in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, “Vulnerability”, will use its domestic setting to explore themes of anxiety, fear, and struggle in today’s fractured world. Guided by the musicians, listeners will weave their way through the home on a path that combines elements of theatrical lighting and choreography, a traditional salon concert, and intimate glimpses of daily life.
