Andrea REINKEMEYER

Andrea Reinkemeyer (b. 1976, she/her) is an internationally performed American composer. Widely commissioned by orchestras, universities, and chamber ensembles across the United States, critics hail both Dr. Reinkemeyer’s mastery of synesthetic soundscapes and her unwavering interrogation of human nature and urgent sociopolitical issues. As Oregon ArtsWatch describes, her music “find[s] discordant grace where other composers would flinch…translating private pains and passions into exquisite works.” This duo of tactile sound and topical subject matter has led to collaborations with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, Albany Symphony Orchestra, and an array of contemporary ensembles, solo performers, visual artists, and universities. In addition, her music enjoys distribution by Murphy Press and ADJ•ective New Music. Since 2023, she has served as the Director of Composition in the Dewberry Family School of Music at George Mason University.
