Scenes of Night

Sofía Rocha (b. 1996) writes music of uncompromising emotional intensity while exploring cognition, randomness, rhythm, and counterpoint within post-tonal frameworks. Upcoming projects include newly commissioned works for the International Contemporary Ensemble through their "Call for ___" program, the 2022 Aspen Music Festival, and the New York Youth Symphony via their First Music Commissioning program. She has received honors from the New England Philharmonic, Fresh Inc Festival, and ASCAP, among others.

Sofía received her master's degree in composition from the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory, studying with Chen Yi, Yotam Haber, Paul Rudy and Zhou Long. While attending, she was also the 2019 composer-in-residence for the Graduate Fellowship String Quartet. She completed her undergraduate work at the Sunderman Conservatory of Music at Gettysburg College in 2019, studying composition with Avner Dorman. Besides composing, Sofía is also an avid trombonist and conductor, having performed with numerous symphony orchestras, wind ensembles and jazz groups.
