Katherine Young

Katherine Young uses expressive noises, curious timbres, and kinetic structures in her electroacoustic music and sonic art; relationship building is central to her practice. The LA Phil, Internationales Musikinstitut Darmstadt, the University of Chicago’s Smart Museum of Art, and others have commissioned her work. She has a 2021 Guggenheim Fellow in Music Composition. Katherine has documented her work as a bassoonist and improviser on numerous recordings. She teaches composition, improvisation, and electronic music at Emory.
