Chicago-based, internationally-performed composer Kirsten Broberg (b. USA 1979) is one of the most active and prolific composers of her generation. Her current work concentrates on structural timbre, ornamentation, gesture, orchestration, harmony and meter while highlighting processes of transformation and modulation of these elements on the surface of the music.
