I don't like to spend much time on juvenilia -- even Mozart's.  So as laudable as the Luna Composition Lab's goal is of promoting the development of female, non-binary, and gender non-conforming composers, I wouldn't send you to a night of very young composers' works (played by similarly young musicians).  BUT add some pieces by such excellent post-juvenile composers as Shelley Washington, Mary Halvorson, and Alex Temple and, well, here I am telling you to go!

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  One can't help suspect that many of the young composers and performers are going to end up at My Pie Pizzeria Romana for Roman-syle pizza.
