#BringingBackBranscombe

We exist to honor the legacy of Gena Branscombe and promote equity in music by uplifting the voices of all music professionals across the United States and beyond.

“As a force of musical nature, Gena Branscombe established her place in the world through her compositions, conducting and leadership. Her life is an inspiring record of a woman of great ability who carved...a viable musical career…when American composers were just coming into their own in this country.”
