Angélica Negrón

Composer

Biography

Angélica Negrón is a Puerto Rican–born composer and multi-instrumentalist. She writes music for voices, orchestras, and film as well as robots, toys, and plants. Negrón is known for playing with the intersection of classical and electronic music, unusual instruments, and found sounds.

Residencies and commissions include WNYC’s The Greene Space (a four-part variety show exploration of sound and personal history), the New York Botanical Garden (an immersive site-specific work for electronics and 100 voices), and Opera Philadelphia (a drag opera film in collaboration with Matthew Placek and Sasha Velour). Recent commissions include works for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, Seattle Symphony, National Symphony Orchestra, Sō Percussion, Kronos Quartet, Roomful of Teeth, and an original score for the HBO docuseries Menudo: Forever Young. 

Negrón has upcoming premieres with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra (featuring Lido Pimienta as soloist), Santa Rosa Symphony and Eugene Symphony (First Symphony project), and The Hermitage Artist Retreat (as the recipient of the 2022 Hermitage Greenfield Prize). 

Negrón regularly performs a solo show and is a founding member of the tropical electronic band Balún. Recent performances include the Big Ears Festival 2022 and various engagements in New York City, San Juan, and nationwide.

Her musical education includes early studies at El Conservatorio de Música de Puerto Rico under Alfonso Fuentes, and later at both NYU under Pedro da Silva and The Graduate Center (CUNY) under Tania León. An educator herself, Negrón became a Teaching Artist with New York Philharmonic Very Young Composers Program (2013 to 2021) and with Lincoln Center Education (2014 to 2018).

Negrón lives in Brooklyn, where she’s always looking for ways to incorporate her love of drag, comedy, and the natural world into her work.
