EMILY DOOLITTLE - CANADÁ
BORN 16 OCTOBER

Emily Lenore Doolittle (born 16 October 1972) is a Canadian composer., zoomusicologist and Athenaeum Research Fellow at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland based in Glasgow, Scotland. Her music, frequently inspired by folklore and the natural world has been commissioned and performed around the world. She is a member of the Scottish Music Centre and the Canadian Music Centre.

Emily grew up in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She studied at Dalhousie University (with Dennis Farrell and Steve Tittle), the Koninklijk Conservatorium in the Hague, Indiana University and Princeton University. From 2008-2015 she was an Associate Professor of Music at the Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle.

Emily has an interest in zoomusicology (the study of animal and human song) and the natural world. She has explored this in a number of works, her doctoral dissertation at Princeton and as a part of interdisciplinary birdsong research conducted alongside biologists and ornithologists. Together with cognitive biologist W. Tecumseh Fitch, Bruno Gingras and Dominik Endres, she discovered that hermit thrush song follows the overtone series.

Of the development of her passion for bird and animal song, she has said: "I was studying at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in the Hague when a bird woke me up one morning. It sounded like human music and aroused my interest in animal song." Other predominant themes in her music include story-telling, music with and/or for children and folklore.

Her work has received numerous awards, including the 2012 Theodore Front Prize for A Short, Slow Life, two ASCAP Morton Gold Awards, the Joseph H. Bearns Prize, and the Sorel Organization Medallion in Recording.

Suppose I was a Marigold by Emily Doolittle




REBEKAH DRISCOLL - USA
BORN 16 OCTOBER

Rebekah Driscoll (1980 in Lebanon, New Hampshire) is an American composer.

She enjoys composing for unusual combinations of instruments and voices, exploring the connections between language and music. She often writes poetry for her vocal works or constructs a text from diverse and sometimes multilingual sources. Her current projects address societal issues, such as inequality and environmental stewardship, from a perspective that is both thoroughly researched and intensely personal.

Major works include Apart/ment, an opera/song cycle for four vocalists and four instrumentalists on the theme of homelessness, and Ill on a Journey, a multilingual oratorio about navigating life with chronic illness. From Liberty and Fragrant Harbors, an album of her vocal ensemble music released in 2016, was described by textura as “distinguished on compositional and performance grounds, [and] marked by the socially conscious mindset Driscoll brings to her texts.”

Originally from New Hampshire, USA, Ms. Driscoll holds degrees from Sarah Lawrence College and Brooklyn College Conservatory, City University of New York. Her composition teachers include Chester Biscardi, Jason Eckardt, and Tania León. She is a member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).

Anselmi's works include compositions for orchestra, solo piano, violin and cello. Selected works include: Prelude; Gavotte; Minuet; Sonata for Piano in C minor; Sibylla Cumaea
