Tina Davidson, a highly regarded American composer, creates music that stands out for its emotional depth and lyrical dignity. Lauded for her authentic voice, the New York Times praised her “vivid ear for harmony and colors.” OperaNews called her works, “transfigured beauty,” and the Philadelphia Inquirer writes that she writes “real music, with structure, mood, novelty and harmonic sophistication–with haunting melodies that grow out of complex, repetitive rhythms.”
Over her forty-year career, Davidson has been commissioned by well-known ensembles, and her music has been widely performed by many orchestras.
Davidson was commissioned by Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn as part of her 27 Encore project. The work, Blue Curve of the Earth, was released in 2013, and again in 2018 on Hahn’s new album, Retrospective.
The recipient of numerous prestigious grants and fellowships, Davidson was the first classical composer to receive a $50,000 Pew Fellowship. Her work, Transparent Victims, was selected by American Public Radio as part of the International Rostrum of Composers, held at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris.
Tina Davidson founded the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Composers Forum and served as its director from 1999-2001. She was president of the New Music Alliance and organized a nationwide festival entitled “New Music Across America,” which ran in 18 cities in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. She lives in central Pennsylvania.
