Timeline

1960

Andrea Clearfield (born 1960) is an American composer of contemporary classical music.

Regularly commissioned and performed by ensembles in the United States and abroad, her works include music for orchestra, chorus, soloists, chamber ensembles, dance, opera, film, and multimedia collaborations.

Clearfield was born on August 29, 1960, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Bala-Cynwyd, a suburb of Philadelphia.

She was raised in an artistic family and began studying music at a young age, playing piano, flute and timpani and developing an interest in a broad range of genres.

She began exploring composition early on, arranging pop songs from the radio for voices, strings and percussion.

Clearfield met her mentor, composer Margaret Garwood, who was teaching at Muhlenberg College during the time Clearfield was a student there.

She later went on to earn a M.M. in Piano from the Philadelphia College of Performing Arts (now the University of the Arts), and subsequently received a D.M.A. in composition from Temple University, where her principal teacher was Maurice Wright.

1986

She served on the composition and interdisciplinary arts faculty at The University of the Arts from 1986 to 2011.

Since 1986, Clearfield has been the founder and host of the Salon concert series in Philadelphia, featuring contemporary, classical, jazz, world, folk, rock, and electronic music alongside dance, spoken word, and multimedia art forms.

She curates these events, which have become a meeting place for musicians of diverse styles, in Philadelphia and around the US.

Clearfield writes in a wide range of genres encompassing opera, orchestral, choral, chamber, dance, and multimedia, including a number of large-scale cantatas.

Her style is lyrical and rhythmically compelling, with lush harmonies and contrasting fields of texture and sound color.

Clearfield's music has its roots in a variety of cultural and artistic backgrounds.

One of her major cantatas, Women of Valor, based on the women of the Bible, incorporates the poetry of contemporary women writers, while another, The Golem Psalms, takes its inspiration from the legend of the Golem of Prague.

Much of Clearfield's work is influenced by ancient Tibetan music, folklore, and culture, including her opera MILA, Great Sorcerer.

Clearfield has been the recipient of many awards, fellowships, and residencies throughout her career, including the NEA, ASCAP, Leeway Foundation, American Music Center, American Composers Forum, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Meet the Composer, and the International Alliance for Women in Music.
