No'a L. bat Miri is a multilingual writer and educator. Her main interests include sacred and ritual music in secular settings, contemporary American opera and political music. She attends performances globally, with an emphasis on Finland, Japan and the United States. Outside of consuming classical, she is hard at work on her first libretto, actively participates in the scent art community, and can't really say “no” to a walk along the beach or hunting for berries. No'a holds an MFA and is currently pursuing rabbinical studies.
