CHLOE KNIBBS

CHLOE KNIBBS is a British composer exploring storytelling, theatricality and sidelined voices with a particular emphasis on feminist perspectives. Featured on BBC Radio 3, she has composed for opera and music theatre, orchestra, chamber music, art song and choir.  Her collaborators include the Hebrides Ensemble, Riot Ensemble, Psappha and Birmingham Opera Company and Illuminate Womens’ Music.
