Professor Roshanne Etezady
Composer
She/Her
Roshanne Etezady‘s music has been described in Fanfare magazine as “fresh, effusive, and immediately likable,” and she has been hailed by the Detroit Free Press as “a promising and confident composer.” Her music ranges from clever and colorful to sublimely subdued; it combines lyricism with rhythmic intensity and engages performers and audiences alike.
Etezady’s works have been commissioned by ensembles and organizations including the "President's Own” United States Marine Band, the United States Military Band at West Point, the Albany Symphony, the North American Saxophone Alliance, Eighth Blackbird, Music at the Anthology, and the PRISM Saxophone Quartet. Etezady’s music has earned recognition from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Korean Society of 21st Century Music, the Jacob K. Javits Foundation, Meet the Composer, and ASCAP. She is currently Assistant Professor of Composition at the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance.
