Monique Buzzarté
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monique Buzzarté (born in San Pedro, California, United States on August 26, 1960) is a composer, trombonist, and activist who coordinated a worldwide effort on behalf of the International Alliance for Women in Music (IAWM) leading to the admission of women as members of the Vienna Philharmonic in 1997.
Specializing in contemporary music, she has commissioned works for trombone in many genres from composers such as Pauline Oliveros, Alice Shields, and Anne LeBaron. Her electroacoustic works are characterized by gradually shifting layers of live processing.
Buzzarté studied with Stuart Dempster and Ned Meredith, and is certified to teach Pauline Oliveros's deep listening practices. She holds a B.A. and B.Mus. from the University of Washington and a M.M. from the Manhattan School of Music.
She has recorded with the Arditti Quartet, New Circle Five, and Zanana. Commissioned works from Pauline Oliveros, Alice Shields, Al Margolis, Anne LeBaron, and Noah Creshevsky.
