About
After stumbling across a brief mention of American composer Philippa Schuyler, Dr. Sarah Masterson embarked on a years-long quest to research and reconstruct Schuyler’s piano music. Her 2022 world premiere recording of Schuyler’s Seven Pillars of Wisdom received Third Prize in the 2023 Ernst Bacon Memorial Award for the Performance of American Music, and her 2024 album Travelogue: Philippa Schuyler’s Music for Piano, funded in part by a generous Arts Project Support Grant from the South Carolina Arts Commission, includes world premiere recordings of several of Schuyler’s compositions. Her book Snapshots of Forgotten Adventures: Rediscovering the Piano Music of Philippa Schuyler will be released on May 9, 2024.
