Sally Coenen
Athens, Georgia-Based Composer
Sally began her study of piano at an early age and from the start she was drawn to composition. The aspect of composing she values most deeply is collaborating with performers whose input elevates the compositions to their fullest expression.
Artist Statement
My home is Athens, Georgia, a city filled with musicians and dynamic performances that inspire me to create.
Composing music for me centers on expressing our human emotions while building on the insights and innovations of others. Inspired by the music of artists varying from J. S. Bach to Joni Mitchell to Gabriela Montero, I work to infuse my pieces with structure and harmony while leaving room for performers to express their own artistic spirit.
