Swiss composer Katharina Rosenberger often works across disciplines, and her pieces deliberately challenge conventional performance practice by rethinking how sound is made, heard and seen. Her compositions, installations and interdisciplinary operas have appeared at festivals including the KunstFest-Spielen Herrenhausen in Hannover, Klangwerkstatt in Berlin, Tage für Neue Musik in Zürich, Journées Contemporaines in Basel, Festival Archipel in Geneva, Festival reMusik in St. Petersburg, the Felclja Blumental Festival in Tel Aviv, Shanghai New Music Days and October Contemporary in Hong Kong, as well as in numerous concert series across Europe and the United States.
Her music has been released on HatHut Records/hat[now]ART, Unit Records and Akenaton. Her portrait CD TEXTUREN received the prestigious Copland Recording Grant and was chosen for the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, Bestenliste_4, 2012.
Katharina Rosenberger is associate professor of Composition at the University of California San Diego and holds a Doctor of Musical Arts from Columbia University, New York, USA.
