About Us
Anne Hege
Composer, conductor, vocalist, scholar
Born in Oakland, CA, Anne Hege began her musical studies singing with the Piedmont East Bay Children’s Choir and the Oakland Youth Chorus. Hege received a BA in music with honors from Wesleyan University, CT and an MA in music composition from Mills College, CA. In 2014, she completed her PhD in Music Composition at Princeton University where she studied embodied cognition theory and musical meaning.
She has composed for film, installation art, dance, and concert settings. Since 2008, Hege has composed musical scores for choreographer Carrie Ahern. The New York Times praised her score for Ahern’s SenSate as “convincing” and “strangely environmental.” Influenced by her deep listening practice, her latest compositions lie somewhere between ritual, music, and theater with some homemade instruments thrown in for good measure.

Using motion-tracking, looping systems, and architectural sound instruments, lovers Orphea and Eurydice physically shape the music in real time, blending voice, technology, and movement into a multisensory exploration of surveillance, control, care, and the fragile nature of trust.

Anne Hege
with collaborators including instrument builders Daniel Iglesia and Curtis Ullerich, vocalists Sidney Chen, Carmina Escobar, and Michele Kennedy, and creative team members Kim Anno, Mitchell Ost, and Carrie Ahern.
