Meredith Gilna

Bio

​

Meredith Gilna is a composer of the ‘classical’ variety with an affinity for the avant garde and the dialogue of sound and image. Many of her pieces utilize graphics or other non musical sources as a framework, treated with different degrees of intuition and literal translation, to create music with an unexpected shape and content. She is fond of gestures, rich harmonies, extended techniques, and low sounds. Meredith recently earned her PhD in music composition at The University at Buffalo (2021) and originally hails from the Chicago area.
