On Wednesday, Feb. 28, Hartt's Composers' Seminar will welcome Kirsten Volness to discuss her life and work.
Internationally recognized composer Kirsten Volness (she/her) creates sublimely intimate and emotive soundscapes that inspire immersive listening. Through the refined use of electronics and modern composition techniques overlaid with jazz and pop influences, Volness’s music is both groovy and graceful, “irresistible” (San Francisco Chronicle) and “nothing short of gorgeous.” (New York Arts). Each of her compositions reveals “an exquisite sound world” (New Classic LA) with disparate, suggestive musical elements and idioms woven together to create sonic atmospheres that hold listeners in beauty and fascination. Inspired by nature, myth, spirituality, and environmental and sociopolitical issues, Volness’s music is smart, relevant, timeless, and transcendent.
More information about Kisten can be found at her website.
Composers' Seminar meets every Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 6:20 p.m., in the Bliss Music Room, located on the second floor of the Fuller Music Center.
