Betty Wishart's music has been performed throughout the United States and in England, France, Italy, South Korea, and Japan. A graduate of Queens College and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she continued her studies in New York. Her major teachers were Roger Hannay, Richard Bunger Evans, Donald Waxman, and Michael Zenge. Although many of her compositions are for solo instruments and small chamber ensembles, she has also written sacred, orchestral, and pedagogical music.
Wishart has received awards from American Pen Women, American College of Musicians, Composers Guild, the Fayetteville/Cumberland County Arts Council, annual awards from ASCAP since 1996, and been Composer-in-Residence at Weymouth. She has also been credited in numerous publications including Who's Who in Music and Musicians, Foremost Women of the 20th Century, World Who's Who of Women, Who's Who of American Women, Two Thousand Outstanding Musicians of the Twentieth Century, and Who's Who in America. Several of her piano compositions have been repertoire selections for the National Federation of Music Clubs Junior Festival and are available through Conners Publications.
