Athena Festival
Athena Festival is a biennial event celebrating women in music.[1] The festival is sponsored by the Department of Music at Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky.[2] The Athena festival strives to promote women composers and inspire young women with their musical aspirations [3]
In 2011, The Athena festival helped create the first all women 60x60 mix named after the festival. The 60x60 Athena Mix was curated and coordinated by Sabrina Peña Young.[4][5][6]
