A prolific composer and active performer since childhood, Ms. Warshaw (b.1974) began her piano studies at age three with her mother, Ruti Hadass Warshaw. She was composing one year later, and wrote her first orchestral work for the Rockland Symphony at age 8. In 1985, Zubin Mehta conducted her second orchestral work, In the Beginning, with both the New York and Israel Philharmonic Orchestras. She continued to study piano, musicianship and composition with her mother until the age of 17. Her works have been performed by over twenty-six orchestral ensembles, including the New York and Israel Philharmonic Orchestras (Zubin Mehta conducting), the Boston Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Houston Symphony, the Y Chamber Orchestra, the Colorado Symphony and the Albany Symphony. Ms. Warshaw went on to receive degrees from Columbia University and the Juilliard School, where she obtained her doctorate in music composition in May 2003. Significant teachers from that time include Milton Babbitt, David Del Tredici and Samuel Adler. Important awards and distinctions include a Charles Ives Scholarship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, five Morton Gould ASCAP Foundation grants, two BMI Awards and a Fulbright Scholarship to Israel. Recent performances include the premiere of After the Victory for orchestra and chorus by the Grand Rapids Symphony and the North American Choral Company, Sonate Francaise (The Unwritten Chapters) by Collage New Music in Boston, and Chamber of Dreams for written for horn, violin and piano written for acclaimed hornist Eli Epstein. As a pianist, Ms. Warshaw has performed widely as both soloist and chamber player, in venues as diverse as Avery Fisher Hall, Miller Theater, Alice Tully Hall and the Stone, her repertoire ranging from the piano concertos of Mozart, Schumann and Grieg to her own compositions and improvisations. Having studied with renowned thereminist Clara Rockmore from an early age, Ms. Warshaw has appeared with ensembles such as the New York Philharmonic, the American Composers Orchestra, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic and the Boston Symphony. Ms. Warshaw continues to cultivate a multi-faceted persona as composer, performer and educator. She currently serves on the composition faculty of the Boston Conservatory, where she received an award for “Outstanding Faculty of the Year” in 2005. Previously, she taught orchestration (beginning and advanced levels) at the Juilliard Evening Division from 2000 to 2005. She was also a Visiting Professor at Middlebury College and a composer-in-residence at the Interlochen Arts Academy and at the Bowdoin International Music Festival. Frequently inspired by themes gleaned from literature and visual art, Ms. Warshaw has often collaborated with her brother, writer and filmmaker Hilan Warshaw. Musical influences range from Mahler, Ravel, Puccini and Stravinsky to early Broadway composers, Jewish liturgical chant and various Israeli artists. Ms. Warshaw’s music has been widely praised for its lyricism, its unique orchestral colors, its sense of drama and emotional intensity.
