Judith Sainte Croix’s music, described as “one of those occasional blasts of fresh air from a larger world” is lyrical and atmospheric with driving rhythms drawn from ancient and futuristic sounds. The New York Times described her music as “colorful, varied, sweetly melodic & rhythmically vital…a modern, rich textured style which draws on elements of indigenous music yet retains a modernist sophistication as do Bartok’s works.” Upstate Review cited her score as “hauntingly beautiful.” She writes opera as well as chamber, orchestral and electronic music. She describes her work as transformational, often expressing themes of social and environmental awareness. Her sound palette is lyrical and atmospheric with interruptions of driving rhythms, drawing on both ancient and futuristic sounds. More about her at http://sonoratrio.com/Bio_Pages.html.
Elodie Lauten received the 2014 Robert Rauschenberg Award from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. Composer and media artist, her 30 releases, including 5 operas are available worldwide digitally. Her music has been presented by the Lincoln Center Festival, the New York City Opera, WNYC, The Whitney Museum, The Kitchen, La Mama, and Theater for the New City. Born in Paris, daughter of jazz composer Errol Parker, she was a classically trained pianist, studied voice and Indian music, graduated from NYU, and taught composition at NYU and CUNY. She was the artistic director and curator of Lower East Side Performing Arts. More about her life at http://www.artsjournal.com/postclassic/2014/06/one-of-the-greats-elodie-lauten-1950-2014.html.
