@ellenreidmusic is composer in residence of Het
@concertgebouw and the
@concertgebouworkest . The canals, Amsterdam-North, the historic hall on the Van Baerlestraat: she is feasting her eyes. Her music will be heard in abundance in Amsterdam in the near future. ‘Writing goes in waves and it’s always about growth. Growth is difficult and painful. Writing a piece makes you grow as a composer. I like to think that I haven’t written my best piece yet, that keeps me going.’

‘Composer and sound artist, those words suit me, they indicate the large spectrum within which I work. I create things that fall outside the expectations that come with the historical image of a composer. When you create something with sound, of course it is composing, but it gives me space in my head to not just call myself a composer.’
👟 As part of her residency, Ellen designed a unique soundwalk especially for Amsterdam’s Vondelpark! Link in bio!
