Passionate about composing about place and the human experience, composer Christina Rusnak works at the intersection of place, nature, culture, history and art to integrate context into her music from the world around her to convey something meaningful about the human experience.

Women’s Rights are Human Rights

Women’s Rights are Human Rights musically explores the inequity, marginalization, abuse and violence that women still face globally in the 21st century. The multi-movement piece for women’s choir, pulls its text from the document created by the United Nations in 2014. I intend to work with multiple choirs, to perform this work globally.
