Hailed as “a composer of imposing artistic gifts” (Gramophone Magazine) and “one of the brightest stars in her generation of composers” (Audiophile Audition), Kati Agócs (KAH-tee AH-goach) writes “sublime music of fluidity and austere beauty” (The Boston Globe), that is “simmering, and lucid…demands to be heard” (The New York Times). Her music is commissioned and performed by leading musicians and ensembles, including violinist Jennifer Koh, the Boston Symphony Chamber Players, Minnesota Orchestra, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Boston Modern Orchestra Project, Aspen and Tanglewood Music Festivals, Ensemble Reconsil Vienna, and multiple Grammy-award winning ensemble Eighth Blackbird. She has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, a lifetime achievement award in music composition from The American Academy of Arts and Letters, two nominations for Classical Composition of the Year in the Juno Awards (aka the Canadian Grammys), and her orchestral/vocal album The Debrecen Passion was one of The Boston Globe’s Top Ten Classical Recordings of the Year.
