MEET THE COMPOSERS: CHLOE KNIBBS
Chloe Knibbs is a composer and sound artist motivated by lyricism and vulnerability and often works with text. Informed by feminism and interdisciplinary approaches, her work encompasses opera, theatre, choral and chamber works, installations and song-writing. Her music has been described as “quietly effective with every note made to count” and as having “an anguished tender quality” (The Telegraph).
Performed in and out of the concert hall, Chloe’s work has been in venues including Birmingham New Street Station, October Gallery, MeWe360 and the International Anthony Burgess Centre. She is currently undertaking a Midlands4Cities PhD at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, using music theatre composition to explore the legacy of historical women composers.
