Composers

Missy Mazzoli was recently deemed "one of the more consistently inventive, surprising composers now working in New York" by The New York Times, and "Brooklyn's post-millennial Mozart" by Time Out New York. Her music has been performed all over the world by the Kronos Quartet, eighth blackbird, the American Composers Orchestra, New York City Opera, the Minnesota Orchestra, the South Carolina Philharmonic, NOW Ensemble, and many others.

Upcoming projects include the spring 2012 premiere of her first multimedia chamber opera, Song from the Uproar, at the venerable New York venue The Kitchen. Excerpts of this work were previously performed by New York City Opera as part of their VOX series, and by students at the Bard College Conservatory under the direction of Dawn Upshaw. In 2011 she will premiere a new orchestral work, performed by the League of Composer's Chamber Orchestra at New York's Miller Theatre, as well as a new solo work for violinist Jennifer Koh commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Mazzoli was also recently commissioned by Carnegie Hall, Bard College Conservatory, and the Whitney Museum of Art.
