Majoring in guitar, Gina Biver received her BA in Music from Berklee College of Music and a Masters Degree in Music Education with a Concentration in Composition from George Mason University. She studied composition privately with composers Steve Antosca and Garrison Hull.
Gina draws upon the diverse influences of contemporary classical, jazz, world music, electronica and rock. She sees the world as offering endless possibilities, inspirations and means of expression.
Since 1991, she has scored music for television and film, where she has won Tele, Cine Golden Eagle and International Television and Video (ITVA) Awards; and over the years her music has been broadcast across the US and in 13 Latin American countries.
Her composition Skating Still was chosen for the 2006 International 60X60 Project and was performed in New York, Sydney, and across Europe in 2007. Her composition Liebe Mich Befrei Mich (Love Me, Free Me) was performed at the A•Devantgarde festival Königsplatz München und Hochschule für Musik und Theater, Munich, Germany in June 2007. Recent shows include a collaboration with Bryan Leister and Jane Franklin Dance on a project entitled Temporal Interference, an interactive time-based dance installation where the performers controlled sound and media through movement which was performed at the Warehouse Theater in Washington, D.C. in February of 2007. Gina's newest work, In Hiding, a sixteen-minute electronic music composition created for Jane Franklin Dance, was performed at the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage in May of 2007.
Gina is the recipient of a May 2007 Composer Assistance Program grant from the American Music Center to help fund the premiere of "Train" from her new set of concert music "Time Pieces". She has recently created Splash, a new music/new media ensemble based in the Washington, DC area.
