Angélica Negrón
Angélica Negrón is a Puerto Rican-born composer and multi-instrumentalist known for blending classical and electronic music with unexpected instruments, toys, and found sounds. Upcoming premieres include a cello concerto for Yo-Yo Ma with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, and a requiem for the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. She has written works for Opera Philadelphia, New York Philharmonic, Kronos Quartet, Roomful of Teeth, and made her Carnegie Hall debut with Sō Percussion. A Hermitage Greenfield Prize recipient and Lincoln Center Collider Fellow, she also composes for film, performs solo, and co-founded the electronic band Balún. Angélica lives in Brooklyn, where she’s always looking for ways to incorporate her love of drag, comedy, and the natural world into her work.
