Biography:
Chaya Czernowin (December 1957) is a composer of operas, orchestral and chamber music works that have been performed worldwide.
She was resident composer at the Salzburg Festival and the Lucerne Festival. She is Walter Bigelow Rosen Professor of Music at Harvard University and was Professor of Composition at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (2005-2009) and at the University of California, San Diego (1997-2005).
Czernowin works imaginatively and analytically, using metaphors as a means to penetrate a world of sound that is alien and never self-evident, and attempts to give a voice to what is hidden from view on the inside. Main works: the opera Pnima, the large-scale orchestral piece Maim and HIDDEN for quartet and electronics.
Czernowin's work has received numerous awards, including the sponsorship award from the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation, the Guggenheim Fellowship Award and the Kranichstein Music Prize at the Darmstadt Summer Courses.
Your work has been published by Schott.
