Based in Washington Heights, Leadlights Ensemble connects people through music and brings joy and vitality to communities through high quality musical programming in all kinds of spaces, from the concert hall to the sidewalk. Founded in 2018, Leadlights is dedicated to amplifying the music of living composers, particularly the music of women composers and composers of color. In addition, the Ensemble has commissioned or premiered new works for string quartet by J. Mark Stambaugh, Kyle Werner, Nick Marsella, Simon Brown, and Washington Heights students Raschkes Evensen and Julian Jackson. Find out more at www.leadlightsensemble.weebly.com
