Stacey Brown
composer

Composer, educator, and translator Stacey Brown, originally from Kamloops British Columbia, is newly based in St. John’s, Newfoundland after two decades in Montreal. Her music has been described as “organic” (Le Devoir), “powerfully affecting” (Vancouver Observer), and “showing a gift for skillful orchestration” (Bachtrack). Included in her catalogue are concert works, from solo to orchestra, as well as two operas and collaborations in theatre and dance.
 
Among her orchestral commissions are the countertenor song cycle L’horreur de constater qu’on nous oubliera (2015), Perspectives (2017), the trumpet concerto En soi, in and of itself (2019), and for chamber orchestra, Still (2021). Recent chamber works include (un)done (2016) for Pierrot ensemble and two singers, Lachrimae Viventium and Lorasirme Ryny Their Galliard (2019) for viol consort, Urgent Solitudes (2019) for various combinations of voice, cello, and piano, and Moment (2020) for clarinet, violin, and piano. Her work has been supported by grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, the SOCAN Foundation, and others.
 
Called “a composer to watch” (Broad Street Review), Brown has won several prizes for her music, including Symphony Nova Scotia’s 2019 Maria Anna Mozart Award. She has had her compositions performed across Canada and in the United States by ensembles including the Orchestre Métropolitain, Les Voix Humaines, the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, and the Philadelphia Orchestra, working with conductors including Dina Gilbert, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and Nicolas Ellis. Upcoming premieres include Où la nuit, a work for string orchestra with Les Violons du Roy and I Musici de Montréal.
 
An Associate Composer of the Canadian Music Centre, adjunct professor of music, and published French-English translator, Stacey Brown has also served as Vice-President of both the Canadian League of Composers and the Canadian New Music Network. She holds degrees in composition from the University of Victoria and the Université de Montréal, and in translation from Concordia University.
