Об исполнителе:
(November 2nd, 1947 - February 8th, 2023) Welsh-born composer Hilary Tann served as the John Howard Payne Professor of Music at Union College, Schenectady. She held degrees in composition from the University of Wales at Cardiff and from Princeton University. From 1982 to 1995 she held a number of Executive Committee positions with the International League of Women Composers. She was guest Composer-in-Residence at the 2011 Eastman School of Music Women in Music Festival, Composer-in-Residence at the 2013 Women Composers Festival of Hartford, and 2015 Composer-in-Residence for the Welsh Music Center (Ty Cerdd). Praised for its lyricism and formal balance, her music is influenced by her love of Wales and a strong identification with the natural world. A deep interest in the traditional music of Japan has led to private study of the shakuhachi and guest visits to Japan, Korea and China. Her compositions have been widely performed and recorded by ensembles such as the European Womenʼs Orchestra, Tenebrae, Lontano, Meininger Trio, Thai Philharmonic, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, BBCNOW and KBS Philharmonic in Seoul, Korea.
