Writing music is how I express myself. After all, “where words fail, music speaks.” — Chelsea Loew, composer

Leading up to Helia Music & Siroko Duo's March 25th concert, Re:Ignite, we'll be posting interviews with our collaborators to offer you a sneak-peak into their lives, their musical process, and their inspiration. Read on to learn more!  Meet Chelsea Loew! On March 25, 2017, Siroko will be giving the world-premiere of her new work Hughes of Sylvia for flute and alto flute. Learn about her background, her piece, and fun facts about her life.
Tell us a little about yourself - where you’re currently based, your musical journey so far, and where you think you’re going. In elementary school, I received a light-up keyboard from Santa- he gets me. I’m sure my parents thought I would play with it for a few months and grow out of it and move on. Instead, it sparked my complete infatuation with music, and I was constantly playing it. Side-note: I received an ocarina this past Christmas from my boyfriend who is fully aware of my nerdiness and love of Zelda, and I have successfully driven both him and my roommate at Eastman absolutely nuts! So, if you think you can buy me a musical instrument and expect me to quickly grow bored, think again. ;) Music has that effect on me. It’s intoxicating. It equally fulfills me and leaves me desiring more. And so I here I am, studying to receive my MA in Music Composition from Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY. Within the next few months I will have decided on a school to pursue my Doctorate in Composition, and I am so eager to figure out where that will be! Wherever I end up, I will always compose. Writing music is how I express myself. After all, “where words fail, music speaks.”
