Anne Leilehua Lanzilotti (born November 5, 1983) is an American performer, educator, composer and scholar of contemporary classical music. She is currently the assistant professor of viola at University of Northern Colorado School of Music.[1] Lanzilotti is the creator of Shaken Not Stuttered, a free online resource demonstrating extended techniques for strings in the music of Andrew Norman.[2]

Biography

Lanzilotti grew up in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. She began her violin studies with Hiroko Primrose, renowned pedagogue and protégé of Shinichi Suzuki. Lanzilotti attended Punahou School and Beijing Normal University Middle School No. 2 (School Year Abroad), and then continued her education at Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, Yale School of Music, and Manhattan School of Music.[1] She was a fellowship violist in both the New World Symphony and the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin.[3]

Lanzilotti is known as a performer for her collaborations with living composers such as Dai Fujikura, Ted Hearne, Andrew Norman, Caroline Shaw, Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Jagoda Szmytka, Scott Wollschleger. Lanzilotti created Shaken Not Stuttered[2] as an extension of these collaborations. In addition to her work as a soloist, she has performed as a guest with Alarm Will Sound, Ensemble Éschappé, Ensemble Interface, Ensemble Signal, International Contemporary Ensemble, Longleash, and with bands such as DeVotchKa, and She & Him.[4] Lanzilotti performed in the Björk Vulnicura Live tour in New York City, and appears on the album of the same name.

In addition to her position as the Assistant Professor of Viola at University of Northern Colorado, Lanzilotti is the Director of the Contemporary Music Ensemble, and is co-director of Open Space Festival of New Music.[1] Lanzilotti is also co-founder and artistic consultant for Kalikolehua – El Sistema Hawaiʻi.[5] She was previously on the faculty at New York University, Casalmaggiore International Music Festival,[6] and Wintergreen Performing Arts.

Lanzilotti's compositions are characterized by the frequent use of field recordings and extended techniques for strings. Lanzilotti creates soundscapes that invite the audience to engage with sound and listen carefully to the subtleties of resonance. She was the winner of the first Periapsis Emerging Artist Residency,[7] and has been commissioned by The Noguchi Museum.

As an Andrew Norman scholar, Lanzilotti has written for Neue Zeitschrift für Musik,[8] London Symphony Orchestra,[9] and has spoken at conferences internationally[10] on Norman's use of architecture and visual art as musical inspiration. Her doctoral dissertation is also on the topic of music and architecture in Norman's string trio, The Companion Guide to Rome.[11]
