The music of post-style composer of mostly notated music, Alexandra du Bois (Ph.D. Stony Brook University; M.M. The Juilliard School; B.M. Indiana University Jacobs School of Music), is often propelled by issues of indifference and inequality throughout the United States and the world, performed at venues across five continents—connecting her tangibly to the countries that inform and inspire her work as an activist, educator, and creator of musical experiences. Alexandra (she/her) writes multi-discipline works often commissioned to honor or mourn world events—historical and contemporary and has been described as “an intense, luminous American composer” (Los Angeles Times), and “a painter who knows exactly where her picture will be hung” (New York Times), who writes music that “attempts to be a conscience in a time of oblivion […] daring to counter abuses of moral authority with an internal, personal sound” (Kronos Quartet founder David Harrington, Strings Magazine), and “a stunning piece that explored the landscape of war and conflict with a sorrowful tone of foreboding, chaos and devastation”(BBC Manchester). She lives on traditional and unceded land of the Western Abenaki People and is Chair of the Composition & Theory Department at the Longy School of Music. Her commissions include those from The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center New York, Riot Ensemble London, Institut Curie Paris, and Kronos Quartet San Francisco.
