A seasoned Australian composer, soloist, videographer, educator and performance and visual artist, Burke has performed and toured around the world. She has a Ph.D. from the University of Tasmania, Australia, and a master of music in composition from Melbourne University.
Burke’s lecture, “Performance Processes through the Composition/Improvisation of Interactive Works,” will explore how composers cross artistic platforms in live performance to create a complex layering of sounds. The resulting composition ideally represents “complexity of images we see and sounds we hear,” according to the Jacobs School of Music.
Burke will cover the process composers use to develop a composition for the performance of an interactive work. Additionally, she will reference her recent composition, “Escapee Gloss.”
Burke’s work blends bass clarinet, real time computer sound, live visuals and theater in her performances to create innovative performances, according to the music school.
