Elizabeth Anderson first studied music at Gettysburg College (Pennsylvania, USA) where she received a Bachelor of Arts in 1982. She obtained a Master of Music in composition from the Peabody Conservatory of Music (Maryland, USA) in 1987. Later that year she travelled to Brussels, Belgium to study instrumental composition with Jacqueline Fontyn at the Brussels Royal Conservatory. She discovered electronic music while exploring contemporary instrumental composition techniques and received the first final diploma in electronic music composition at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp in 1993 with Joris de Laet. In 1994 she received the Premier Prix and in 1998 the Diplôme Supérieur in electroacoustic music composition at the Royal Conservatory of Mons with Annette Vande Gorne. She is the recipient of an Overseas Research Scholarship, as well as subsidies from the Fondation SPES and the British Federation of Women Graduates Charitable Foundation which allow her to pursue doctoral studies in electroacoustic music composition with Denis Smalley at City University in London (UK). Elizabeth Anderson’s works have been honoured in several competitions including: ASCAP/SEAMUS (USA) in 2001, Bourges (France) in 1994, Città di Udine (Italy) in 2004, CIMESP (Brazil) in 1995, 2001 and 2003, Arras (France) in 1997, 1998, and in Stockholm (Sweden) in 1994. Her works are frequently performed in international festivals. She has been invited by diverse institutions to realise compositions and to give conferences and performances. Her current research pursuits centre on the perception of electroacoustic music and the development of a metaphorical language for electroacoustic art. Elizabeth Anderson organised and developed a comprehensive course in electroacoustic composition at the Academy of Music in Soignies (Belgium) from 1994 until 2002. She lectured in the department of electroacoustic composition at the Royal Conservatory of Mons (Belgium) in 2003-04. [source: MR 2004] [vii-05] electrocd.com Elizabeth Anderson: biography |
