Composer Abbie Betinis creates “inventive” (The New York Times), “joyful… incandescent” (Boston Globe) music that “expands into ethereal realms” (Cambridge University Press). With performances from Carnegie Hall to Disney Hall, state prisons to capitol buildings, international cathedrals to intimate summer campfires, her music transports performers and audiences alike through storytelling, relevance, and craft.

Her vast catalog, grown from her love for the human voice, includes commissions for the American Choral Directors Association, Cantus, Conspirare, Dale Warland Singers, Minnesota Music Educators Association, St Olaf Choir, and Young New Yorkers’ Chorus among many others.

A two-time McKnight Artist Fellow, and recognized by Musical America for her “ability to use her talents to effect social change,” Abbie is co-editor the Justice Choir Songbook – a resource for community transformation through singing – now used in schools, streets, prisons, faith communities, and protest movements nationwide. An enthusiastic guest clinician, she enjoys bringing the “why” off the page and into the energy of a rehearsal.

Abbie studied composition at St. Olaf College, the University of Minnesota, and the EAMA Nadia Boulanger Institute in Paris, France. She lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.
