For complete details about Women’s History Month, please visit: https://www.amywurtz.com/about-4 Day 9 - Amy Wurtz (b. 1976) - Waterfalling (2026) I was commissioned to write “Waterfalling” by Gene Pritsker of Composers’ Concordance in New York for an electroacoustic set of music. It was premiered by pianist Lesi Mei in February 2026 in both Chicago and San Diego. This was a fun challenge for me, as I hadn’t written anything for electronics since I was a student! I used as my inspiration a series of hikes that I went on with my sister in Forest Knolls, California. The waterfalls, particularly on the “Cataract Falls” trail, were stunningly beautiful. Most of the recorded sounds are from these hikes. As each hike is a journey unto itself, I wanted to create a sense of motion and unfolding in this short piece. The piece is dedicated to my sister, and I also want to thank composer Kyong Mee Choi for her influence. I’ve played many of her piano/electronics pieces over the years and her model was essential for me writing this piece. Welcome to Women’s History Month 2026! Women’s History Month is a project I began to promote the music of women composers, both past and present, on each day of March. I wanted to create something that would remind us all month long of the creative presence and power of women. I aim to highlight women composers who may be unknown to the general public and introduce them to new audiences, sparking further interest in their music and their lives. 2026 is my year to focus on composers connected to Minnesota. Watch every day of March 2026 for a new piece of music! 2026 Playlist–begins on March 1, 2026 and updated daily through March 31    • Women's History Month 2026   2026 Live Performances: March 15, 2026, 3 pm Harold Washington Library Center https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/e...
