Music

Composer Ingrid Stölzel has been described as having “a gift for melody”(San Francisco Classical Voice) and “evoking a sense of longing” that creates “a reflective and serene soundscape that makes you want to curl up on your windowsill to re-listen on a rainy day.” Her music has been described as “tender and beautiful” (American Record Guide) and as creating a “haunting feeling of lyrical reflection and suspension in time and memory” (Classical-Modern Review). At the heart of her compositions is a belief that music can create profound emotional connections with the listener.

Awards include the Suzanne and Lee Ettelson Composer's Award, the RED NOTE Composition Competition, Robert Avalon International Competition for Composers, Kaleidoscope Chamber Orchestra Competition, Ortus International New Music Competition, Cayuga Chamber Orchestra Composers Competition, Arizona Pro Arte Competition and NewMusic@ECU Composition Competition, among others.
