Missy Mazzoli

Recently deemed “one of the more consistently inventive, surprising composers now working in New York” (“The New York Times”) and “Brooklyn’s post-millennial Mozart” (“Time Out New York”), Missy Mazzoli has had her music performed by the Kronos Quartet, LA Opera, eighth blackbird, the BBC Symphony, Scottish Opera, and many others. In 2018 she became one of the first two women, along with Jeanine Tesori, to receive a main stage commission from the Metropolitan Opera and was nominated for a Grammy award. She is composer-in-residence at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, while between 2012-2015 was composer-in-residence with Opera Philadelphia. Upcoming commissions include works for Opera Philadelphia, the National Ballet of Canada, Chicago Lyric Opera, and Norwegian National Opera. Her works are published by G. Schirmer.
