Join award-winning composer Andrea Daly '06 for a two-part series that connects Kenyon students with professionals in music and the arts. Each session responds directly to student questions, offering context and lived experience from working artists.
Part I: Oct. 7
An open conversation between Daly and the Kenyon community, exploring what students are most curious about in music and related fields. Daly will share her perspective as a multi-hyphenate creator while inviting open, candid discussion. This gathering brings together arts-passionate and arts-curious minds, builds community and creates a space where all questions are welcome.
Part II: Nov./Dec.
A curated panel of music and arts professionals, moderated by Daly, that responds to the themes and questions raised in Part I. Both events are open to all, and students are welcome to attend either one — but together they form a unique, student-shaped mentorship experience.
Come get curious with us in Part I, and help shape the panel conversation that will return to Kenyon later this fall.
This event is sponsored by the Kenyon College Music Department, the Career Development Office, and the Payne Fund for the Arts.
Andrea Daly is a 2006 graduate of Kenyon College. Since completing her Ph.D. in music composition at Stony Brook University, she has worked in New York as a composer, writer and vocalist. Andrea’s first musical, "Legendale" (with Jeff Bienstock, book/lyrics), received its world premiere in Europe in 2017 at Denmark’s Fredericia Theater (Disney’s "Tarzan," Disney’s "Hunchback of Notre Dame"), followed by an American premiere in Ohio the same year. In 2022, the American Theatre Wing named Daly a Jonathan Larson Grant Finalist, and the Broadway Women’s Fund has listed her as a Woman to Watch on Broadway. Her current project is "NEXT," a new original musical commissioned by Barbara Whitman Productions and Grove Entertainment for which she wrote music, book and lyrics in collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Dominic Fallacaro (co-music/orchestrations).
