Biography

Kristin Hauge received her undergraduate degree in 2018 from Princeton University, where she majored in music with a focus in composition. Her work thus far includes orchestral and chamber works, choral compositions, collaborative piano arrangements, and a composition for jazz piano trio. She is interested in pursuing interdisciplinary projects that incorporate acoustic and electronic media. Through her work, she hopes to explore many facets of musical expression, including the relationship between music and nature (with a particular focus on birdsong, motion capture, and soundscapes), recording and production techniques, synthesizers and electric string instruments, and immersive audiovisual experiences such as interactive websites and installations. In addition to composing, Kristin plays piano, violin, and viola, and is an avid pit orchestra musician (primarily on keyboards). Before joining CCT, she taught high school orchestra for three years in New Jersey.
