Composer Hilary Tann, composer-in-residence for the Women in Music Festival at the Eastman School of Music, and Professor of Music at Union College in Schenectady, NY,  reflects on the role of poetry in her musical life in her presentation "Three Welsh Poets: A Composer's View."  Tann's music has been influenced by her love of Wales, her strong identification with the natural world, her interest in the traditional music of Japan, and her passion for poetic texts. 
Also included in the evening's lecture were readings from the works of George Herbert, R.S. Thomas, and Menna Elfyn by readers Stephanie Brown Clark, Andrea Weinstein, and Barbara Lovenheim. 
Introduction by Sylvie Beaudette, Assistant Professor of Chamber Music
