About Amplify Female ComposersAmplify Female Composers is a new platform created by Carolyn Craig and Janet Yieh that seeks to encourage the performance of sacred music by female composers and arrangers. Our hope is to expand the rich repertoire of music in liturgical music programs, and to send this excellent music out into the world as a helpful resource for all church musicians and music lovers alike. The platform also hosts Resources and Articles pages to refer readers to some of the incredible work surrounding the liturgical music of female composers and arrangers.
