About Me

Grace Brigham is a composer and soprano in Salt Lake City, Utah specializing in choral music. Her work is gaining increasing attention, with premieres by Cantus, St. Martin's Voices at St Martin-in-the-Fields, the Washington National Cathedral Choir, the Western ACDA SSAA Honor Choir, ensembles at St. Olaf College, and an upcoming premiere of her chamber opera at the Capital Fringe Festival. Originally from Washington, D.C., she holds degrees from St. Olaf College and the European American Musical Alliance Summer Academy. Her piece "Discoveries" was named the winner of the Cantus Young & Emerging Composer Competition, and was described as follows: "Through daring harmony, exquisite text-painting and remarkable sensitivity, “Discoveries” was a celebration of the accomplishments of female scientists, a recognition of their marginalization and a strong call to action." Grace has received commissions from Women's Voices Chorus, the Washington National Cathedral, St. George Children's Choir, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Assumption University, and Herriman High School Vivace. Several of her works are published through Graphite Publishing.  She and her girlfriend live in Salt Lake City with their two dogs, Jack and Penny.
