Angela Morris
If Brooklyn’s music circles draw a venn diagram, Angela Morris thrives in the loop between avant-jazz, new music, and pop. A composer and multi-instrumentalist, (known mostly as saxophonist, she grew up playing violin and has performed on that instrument with Jessica Pavone String Ensemble) she has performed throughout North America and Europe everywhere from basements to arenas. Her compositions premiered by cellist Leo Eguchi and percussionist Chris Froh, violinist Monica Davis, and the Nouveau Classical Project. She has been commissioned by WDR Big Band, Dartmouth College, and the Brooklyn Youth Music Project. Morris is a member of several active collaborative ensembles, including Skellettes, Motel, and TMT Trio. Morris has organized the multi-disciplinary, experimental concert series Brackish – music & art since 2015, which has produced dozens of concerts in Brooklyn and four online film festivals. A 2019 Composer Fellow at Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music, Morris has also been artist-in-residence at Willapa Bay AiR, the Atlantic Center for the Arts, and the Banff Centre.
