about
Stacy Garrop’s music is centered on dramatic and lyrical storytelling. The sharing of stories is a defining element of our humanity; we strive to share with others the experiences and concepts that we find compelling. Stacy shares stories by taking audiences on sonic journeys – some simple and beautiful, while others are complicated and dark – depending on the needs and dramatic shape of the story. Stacy is the first Emerging Opera Composer of Chicago Opera Theater’s new Vanguard Initiative for 2018-2020, during which she has composed two chamber operas with Chicago librettist Jerre Dye. She recently completed a 3-year composer-in-residence position with the Champaign-Urbana Symphony Orchestra, funded by New Music USA and the League of American Orchestras. During the residence, she had multiple works performed with the Champaign-Urbana Symphony Orchestra, including Terra Nostra (her evening-length oratorio about our planet) while running several outreach programs for organizations and schools throughout the Champaign-Urbana region, including the Education Justice Project at the Danville Correctional Center (a medium-security men’s prison) and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute for adults. Stacy has received numerous awards and grants including an Arts and Letters Award in Music from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Barlow Prize, Fromm Music Foundation Grant, three Barlow Endowment commissions, Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s Elaine Lebenbom Memorial Award, Raymond
