She was Composer in Residence at the inaugural Chelsea Music Festival, created by conductor and Grammy nominated producer Ken David Masur and Steinway artist Melinda Lee Masur. The festival, which The New York Times described as “a gem of a series,” gave Duende its world premiere. Continuum is her second chamber music album, to be released July 31 by Innova Recordings. Performed by Decoda -- the first ever Affiliate Ensemble of Carnegie Hall -- these four world premiere recordings of chamber works explore terrain as disparate as the cyclic nature of the ocean’s tides, our relationship to space and memory, and deep connections to place. The release follows Cornish’s Duende, which the American Record Guide described as “a program of bold, thoughtful, mesmerizing chamber music” -- a description that could apply equally well to Continuum. In the world of film scoring, she wrote the music for the drama Fireflies in the Garden, starring Julia Roberts, Ryan Reynolds and Willem Dafoe. She has orchestrated the music for many Hollywood films, including Once Upon a Dream for Maleficient starring Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning, and the title song for Big Eyes, starring Amy Adams and Christopher Waltz. She has received a Special Distinction from the ASCAP Foundation's Rudolf Nissim Prize jury for her orc
