Heather Niemi Savage: The Power of Perseverance

Heather Niemi Savage is a North Carolina-based composer with an eclectic style drawing on her broad background in classical, jazz, musical theater, and sacred music. Her compositions have been performed throughout the United States by ensembles such as the Argus String Quartet, the North-South Consonance, the Great Woods Symphony, and members of the Raleigh Symphony. Her most popular piece “Daughter of the Stars,” for string orchestra, placed second in the 2020 American Prize for Composition (pops/light music  division.) Her piece, “When Music Sounds,” won second place in the Huntsville Master Chorale Composition Competition, making her the first woman to final in this annual competition. As a collaborative pianist, Heather works with the Appalachian Chorale under Dr. Davaughn Miller in addition to accompanying an undergraduate vocal methods class, local school choruses, and the choir at St. Luke’s UMC in Hickory, NC. She also hosts The Musicking Community Podcast and maintains a private teaching studio.www.heatherniemisavage.comhttps://www.facebook.com/[email protected] sure you SUBSCRIBE to Crushing Classical, and maybe even leave a nice review! Thanks for joining me on Crushing Classical! Theme music by DreamVance.I help people to lean into their creative careers and start or grow their income streams.
