"Six Santa Fe College piano students will perform as well as some of my younger private piano students," explained SF associate professor of Music Mitch McKay. "At this recital, we'll focus on music by women composers, including pieces by Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Amy Beach, Clara Schumann, Florence Price and more."

Forrester has a Ph.D. in music theory and a Doctor of Music degree in composition, both from Florida State University. She has written music for choirs as well as music for a brass trio, solo clarinet and viola.
