Anne LeBaron’s compositions have been performed worldwide. As a Fulbright Scholar, she studied with György Ligeti and Mauricio Kagel. Awards received include the Alpert Award in the Arts, a Fromm Foundation commission, a Guggenheim, and NEA grants. Her seven operas celebrate legendary female figures, including Marie Laveau in her opera "Crescent City." She is currently composing "LSD: Huxley’s Last Trip," an opera that includes many of the instruments built by Harry Partch. She teaches composition at CalArts, and she just completed serving as Chair of the Board for the American Composers Forum. Her new recording to be released later this year on Innova, "Unearthly Delights," will feature chamber and solo compositions. For the past five decades, she has pioneered extended techniques such as bowings and preparations for the harp, performing with notable musicians worldwide.
