Composer-vocalist Lisa Bielawa is a 2009 Rome Prize winner in Musical  Composition. She takes inspiration for her work from literary sources  and close artistic collaborations.

Gramophone reports, “Bielawa  is gaining gale force as a composer, churning out impeccably groomed  works that at once evoke the layered precision of Vermeer and the  conscious recklessness of Jackson Pollock,” and The New York Times  describes her music as, “ruminative, pointillistic and harmonically  slightly tart.”
