Danish American Lil Lacy is a composer whose curiosity is at the center of her music. She works with the meeting of media and genres, focusing on the connectivity within music. Creating without the limitations of the classical structures, Lacy is also a performer, a singer and experimental cellist. This unique perspective offers her music a malleability to space. Lacy’s music is born in the meeting with performers, audiences, and space. From installation to orchestra, she creates tailor-made universes, claiming the right to be heard. Lacy has composed for orchestra, choir, installations and electronics, and in collaboration with art films, theatre, visual arts and dance. Her curiosity allows her to move between worlds, bringing herself into each one, whilst absorbing a bit of them, each time. Lil Lacy studied composition at the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus, Denmark, with Simon Steen-Andersen, Niels Rønsholdt and Juliana Hodkinson. She also studied at the music department of UC San Diego with Mark Dresser, Katharina Rosenberger, Wilfrido Terrazas and Marcos Balter. In 2020 she received the Léonie Sonning Talent Prize for her work as a composer and musician. Lacy is part of several bands in the Danish avantgarde scene as a singer and experimental cellist. Her music has been performed in Europe, America, Australia and Japan, and she has released several critically acclaimed and award-winning albums with different ensembles.
