The Lexington Philharmonic has appointed Brittany J. Green as the 2025-26 Saykaly Garbulinska Composer-in-Residence. The Kentucky-based orchestra will collaborate with Green throughout the 2025-26 season to program and perform her works, culminating in the world premiere of a new work at the 2025-26 season finale concert. Green is a North Carolina-based composer, creative, and educator. Her bio states that her music facilitates intimate musical spaces that ignite visceral responses at the intersection of sound, video, movement, and text. Recent works engage sonification and Black feminist theory as tools for sonic world-building, and her artistic practice includes spoken and electronic performance, interdisciplinary collaboration, experiential projects, and acoustic and electroacoustic chamber and large ensemble works. Her music has been featured at TIME:SPANS, NYC Electronic Music Festival, WoCo Fest, and Experimental Sound Studio. Her collaborators include the International Contemporary Ensemble, JACK Quartet, Transient Canvas, Castle of Our Skins, Emory University Symphony Orchestra, and Wachovia Winds. Green holds awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, ASCAP Foundation, and New Music USA. She is a doctoral candidate at Duke University, pursuing a PhD in music composition as a Dean’s Graduate Fellow.
