Leila is excited to announce a recent partnership with E. C. Schirmer Music Company. Her piece, Colouring-In Book, is now available for purchase online and she has joined the publisher’s composer roster.

“‘Colouring-In Book’ by Leila Adu-Gilmore is about confronting personal and societal problems. The full choir crescendoes together, giving way to beautifully syncopated passages before coming into unison once again.” – Clover Nahabedian, I Care If You Listen
“In ‘Colouring-In Book,’ a standout track, Leila-Adu Gilmore sets to music her own poem about a person’s frustrated efforts to do perfect work as they grow from childhood to adulthood.” – Jon Sobel
