Dorothy Chang
The music of
composer Dorothy Chang has been described as "evocative and kaleidoscopic”
(Seattle Times) and praised for its colourful scoring and range of dramatic
expression. Her music is rooted in the Western art music tradition but often
reflects the eclectic mix of musical influences from her youth, ranging from
marching band to traditional Chinese music.
Dorothy’s
catalog includes works for solo, chamber and large ensembles as well as
collaborations involving theatre, dance and video. Her music has been
featured in concerts and festivals across North America and abroad, with
performances by the Albany Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Civic Orchestra,
Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, Pittsburgh
Symphony Orchestra, Queens Symphony Orchestra, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra,
Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and the Vancouver
Island Symphony Orchestra, as well as by chamber ensembles including eighth
blackbird, the Smith Quartet, the Chicago Saxophone Quartet, Collage New Music
and Music from China, among others.
Awards
and honours that Dorothy has received include a Charles Ives Scholarship
from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, awards from the American Society
of Composers, Authors and Publishers, the International Alliance for Women in
Music, Mu Phi Epsilon, the National Society of Arts and Letters, Meet the
Composer and the Jacob Druckman Orchestra Prize from the Aspen Music
Festival. She has received commissions from the Canada Council of the Arts,
the British Columbia Arts Council, the Barlow Endowment, Chamber Music America,
and the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust. For the 2003-04 and 2005-08
seasons, Dorothy held a Music
Alive composer residency
with the Albany Symphony Orchestra. In 2008 she was awarded the
inaugural commission from the Women's Philharmonic Commissioning Project
of Meet the Composer for a new orchestral work, Strange Air,
which was premiered at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music by
Marin Alsop and the festival orchestra.
Born in Winfield, Illinois, Dorothy began her
music studies on piano at age six and began composing at the age of fourteen.
She received degrees in composition from the University of Michigan (B.M.,
M.M.) and the Indiana University School of Music (D.M). She has served on the
music faculty at Indiana State University and is currently a Professor of
Music at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
