Esmail holds degrees from The Juilliard School and the Yale School of Music, and her music has been performed by major orchestras, choirs and chamber groups all over the world.  More music by Reena Esmail:  https://global.oup.com/academic/category/arts-and-humanities/sheet-music/composers/esmailr?utm_campaign=8698nejcw-869c62gbg-Ti-Gt-Fb-Cc-Ah&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_content=music+score&utm_term=OxfordAcademic+869c62gbg  Music:   Reena Esmail’s ‘The Unexpected Early Hour’ (from A Winter Breviary), performed by The Gesualdo Six    © Oxford University Press
