College of the Canyons proudly welcomes composer/lyricist, conductor, pianist and music producer Georgia Stitt to the School of Visual & Performing Arts’ Virtual Industry Insight Series on Wednesday, March 10. “I am excited to bring the inspirational Georgia Stitt to speak with our College Community in March,” said Jennifer Smolos, dean of the School of Visual & Performing Arts. “Ms. Stitt’s work inspires many women in a field that has been historically dominated by men. I am delighted that her presentation coincides with Women’s History Month.” Stitt is the Founder and President of Maestra, an activist organization for women musicians in the theater. She has written original musicals, choral works, and collaborated with an incredible array of Broadway artists, including her husband Jason Robert Brown. Stitt has performed her music throughout the United States and in England, Scotland, Australia, Denmark, Germany and Japan. Her work has been performed on stages and in concert halls across our country including at The Kennedy Center. She is a recipient of the ASCAP Frederick Loewe Fellowship, the Harold Arlen Award, and the Sue Brewer Award for excellence in music composition. Stitt also serves on the Council of The Dramatists Guild of America and is a proud member of ASCAP, SAG-AFTRA, the American Federation of Musicians (Local 802), and The Recording Academy, where she is a member of the Musical Theater Task Force.
