Big milestones ahead! 🎶

For Part 5 of our "Where Are They Now?" series, we are catching up with five more 30x30x30 project composers to highlight their incredible momentum.

From landing music in the final season of Outlander and dropping a 20th-anniversary jazz album, to an upcoming workshop at ChamberQUEER’s 2026 Festival and a newly announced composer-in-residence seat at the Louisville Orchestra, these artists are making massive waves.
