The Seattle Composers Alliance presents: SCA Live Sessions — The Change We Seek. Live Sessions is an ongoing concert series featuring the works of SCA members, played by rotating lineups of world-class musicians. The concerts are hosted in our favorite Seattle venues and enjoyed by all. To celebrate International Women's Day and local music creators alike, come hear works by nearly a dozen local composers inspired by the change they seek for the betterment of our society. The SCA is honored to have its members' music brought to life live by the Nelda Swiggett Quintet, comprised of extraordinary jazz instrumentalists from around the Puget Sound.

Nelda Swiggett has headlined at many of the Northwest's top jazz venues, including the Seattle Jazz Fellowship, the Earshot Jazz Festival, Bumbershoot, and the Bellevue Jazz Festival. She is an award-winning composer and OA2 recording artist. Her five album releases have received rave reviews and extensive airplay around the globe. On Earth Day 2017, the Nelda Swiggett Quintet debuted a climate-themed work, The Alaska Suite: a story of beauty, loss and hope. This piece has been performed 36 times to date, touching nearly 2500 people across Washington State with its message of hope and call to action. Building on the success of the Alaska Suite, Nelda and her quintet debuted a new climate piece, For the Birds, in September 2024.
